AB - This paper firstly paid attention to the role of Park Jong-hwa as a basis to compare and analyze Park Jong-hwa and Kwangsoo Lee. Because Park Jong-hwa not only played a bridge role in Kwangsoo Lee’ reinstatement, but also supported it by the re-valuation of historical novels. The crucial scene in 1956 when the kidnapping issue was raised and Kwangsoo Lee emerged as a symbol of anti-communism led the literary men who were passive Kwangsoo Lee’ reinstatement in until then. This fruit is the ‘Kwangsoo Lee’s Complete Works’ published in 1962 by Samjungdang. Park Jong Hwa participated in the editorial committee to play a leading role in Kwangsoo Lee’ reinstatementy by criticizing his historical novels in terms of national literature. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the problematic correlation between Park Jong-hwa’s ‘national literature’ and historical novels, which is a way of redeeming the defects of human ‘Kwangsoo Lee and saving the author.
For this purpose, this paper examined in chapter 2 that the national literature of Park Jong-hwa had been the site of constant restructuring of the national problem. In this process, 『Imjinwaaran(임진왜란)』 which was published shortly after the end of the Korean War became the focus of discussion. Referring to his comment that his first step as a historical novelist was the war of Imjin(임진란), 『Imjinwaaran (임진왜란』 is enough to be a major reference to consider the problematic relationship between national literature and historical novels. Through the analysis of Chapter 2, this paper discussed in detail in Chapter 3 how a particular time series of the war of Imjin(임진란) which he invoked worked as the current ideological politics of historical novels. Park Jong-hwa’s 『Imjinwaaran(임진왜란』 been linked with Kwangsoo Lee’ 『Yi Sun-Sin(이순신)』 for over three years reveals that historical novelsl is not a representation of the timeless tradition or history but the projection and reflection of our present desire. This is the conclusion of Chapter 4 of this paper.
