AB - This paper aims to explore the meanings and effects of translation of the Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, one of the most popular self-help books, in Korea in the 1920s. First, the paper examines the genealogy of self-help tradition in Christianity as well as the history of the self-help movement in modern Korea.
Second, the paper investigates the historical background and social meaning of emergence of the Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin in colonial America of the 18th century. Third, the paper explores the social context and meaning of the translation of the Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin in colonial Korea of the 1920s. This exploration of self-help discourse and self-help culture in Korea in the 1920s could be a channel for critical review of self-help boom in recent Korean protestantism.
