ABSTRACT

Yi Kwang-su participated in Publishing Historical Records Committee which belong to Shanghai provisional government in 1919. This experience has not explained enough yet but if we consider it, there would be possibility which the contexts and backgrounds of his 1910s' writings are newly revealed. First of all, the chapter 5 'Korean's cultural capacity' in Collection Ⅱ, the contents are closely related to ethnography which is shared in Shinmunkwan(신문관) group , researching and publishing network community. It is very similar to the contents of 'New Understanding' in Korean-Russian Orthodox Newspaper 10, (『대한인정교보』 10) which Yi edited almost all contents of the paper. It proves that Yi knew the product of researching on Korean ancient history in Shinmunkwan group and approved it. The researchers such as Choi Nam-seon(최남선) said that Koreans had glorious culture in ancient times, and spread it to Japan. Secondly, the Collection says the legislation about private school in Choseon made in 1914 was the way of oppressing nationalistic private school. This mention is interesting because "Visit to the middle Schools(중학교 방문기)" series in Youth(『청춘』) are kind of product for corresponding against this cruel oppression. Introducing nationalistic private schools or describing the class such as Korean or Korean history class taught by Korean teacher has important meaning because the government general of Choseon strictly forbid this kind of classes by making new laws and legislations. Thirdly, we can find the aspects of Yi's double writing in 1910s, which differentiate writing tones and opinions according to the anticipated readers and the characteristics of papers. Comparing the critical mention about the educational goal and contents in Collection and writings such as "To the every educators(「교육가 제씨에게」" or "The Comend on Choseon Students' education"(「조선인 교육에 대한 요구」) shows us this possibility of double writing strategy.
