The Discourse Structure and Reproduction Aspect of Historical Novel Illustration in Maeilsinbo: Focusing on Interactive Effects of Lee Seung-man’s text Illustrations
This discussion mainly focuses on illustrator Lee’s works by examining the interrelationship between his historical novels and illustrations in Maeilsinbo after 1930s. This discussion also covers the media perspectives by looking at the cultural and political backgrounds in which a series of historical novels with illustrations were designed and prevalent.
Among the genre of historical novel, illustration has possessed reproducing strategies according to the sense of temporal distance of history. When dealing with the ancient and medieval history such as epoch of the three Kingdoms and Goryeo Dynasty, which are considered relatively far from now, the illustrations symbolically reproduce the mythical atmosphere such as ancient factors, feudalism, nobility not the empirical factors. In the case of the reproduction of modern age of the Joseon Dynasty, the customs and the descriptions of the chronological space were expressed in detail and sense.
When looking at the specific relationship with the writer, if relates to Kim Dong-in’s historical novel, illustrations played a preferential role in the background and created atmosphere in order to create a mythical and emotional sense of place in the novel’s background. The relationship between the background and the character has created illustrational reality by having mythical-realistic relationship.
In the case of Kwangsoo Lee’s “Wonhyo”, the illustrations focus more on the characters in order to deal with the inner anguish and growth of the characters, the theme of the novel. There is a difference in the way of reproduction between the early stage of the epic, in which the characters experience agony as the flow and changes of the epic, and the middle stage of epic, in which the characters have become religious leaders.
In conclusion, Lee Seung-man’s historical illustration inherent some properties of epical reproduction. The illustrations increase the readability by concisely and immediately reproducing the epics and deliver clear message and atmosphere to its readers. On the other hand, each illustration independently focuses on the sense of place which is created by the relational factors between figures and backgrounds. This refers to the significant independent genre an illustration format embraces.
