On Kwangsoo Lee’s Literary Theory of “the Literature of Love” to the Literary Theory of “the Literature of the Ordinary”

김명숙

Kwangsoo Lee published a series of review articles in the early period of modern literature in South Korea, and launched its own literary theory, which can be summarized as the process from the literary theory of “the literature of love” to the literary theory of “the literature of the ordinary”. This process reflects Kwangsoo Lee’s understanding of the new literature, and the core of Kwangsoo Lee’s literary theory never left the word “love”. The terms of “literature of the love” and “the literature of the ordinary” of Kwangsoo Lee not only reflect the historical situation of the literary arena in the period of intense social transition, but also embody the mixed transitional features of the old and new periods but still having its own distinct feature.Although the literary theory of Kwangsoo Lee lacks theoretical thinking, the logic is clear and can be justified. In this paper, Kwangsoo Lee’s “the literature of love” contains the consciousness and logic of resistance to reason through emotion, and shows the change will in society and culture. While Kwangsoo Lee’s trying to get rid of the bondage of the traditional literary concept, but he still cannot separate himself from of the Oriental traditional mind-set of conveying doctrine through literature, and just conveying emotion through literature instead of conveying doctrine. In “the literature of the ordinary”, the revolutionary character of the period of “the literature of love” of Kwangsoo Lee has become extremely weak, and the “love” has been moralized. On the whole, as the most outstanding intellectual in that period, Kwangsoo Lee has a dialogue with the world within his capacity not only based on his own rich Oriental artistic appreciation but also drawing the essence of Western literary theory at the same time.
