The purpose of this paper is to confirm how the imaginary and constructive sense of ¡®world literature¡¯ has been worked in the itinerary of literary historical awareness that continued from the early days of modern literature in Korea. We tried to examine how the restricted perceptions of ¡®world literature¡¯ held by Lee, Kwangsoo(Àî¹âä¨), Ahn, Hwak(°²Àª), and Choi, Namseon(´ÞÄÏÉÆ), etc., early disputants on Korean modern literature, had different influences on their literary concepts, especially imaginary ¡®national¡¯ literature.
First of all, in case of Lee, Kwangsoo(Àî¹âä¨), the aspect of transition from ¡°The Value of Literature¡±(ÎÄŒW? ƒr‚Ž, 1910) to ¡°What is Literature?¡±(ÎÄŒW?? ºÎ?, 1916) had somthing to do with his perception of ¡®world literature¡¯. Influenced by the concept of ¡®Great Literature(´óÎÄŒW)¡¯ that Kaneko Umaji(½ð×ÓñRÖÎ), Japanese literary critic, represented referring to the case of Germany of his time, he was able to move from the literary concept rooted in emotion as universal to the possibility of Choseon Literature. At that time, for him, the concept of ¡®Great Literature(´óÎÄŒW)¡¯ was not a science, but a ¡®world literature¡¯ canonized. Under such a understanding, he was convinced that he could carry out ¡®Choseon Literature¡¯ to the line of ¡®Great Literature(´óÎÄŒW)¡¯ with the work that come in the future.
Meanwhile, For Ahn, Hwak(°²Àª), there was also an understanding of ¡°(history of) world literature¡± behind the change from ¡°the literature of Choseon¡±(³¯õr? ÎÄŒW, 1915) to ¡°the history of Choseon literature¡±(³¯õrÎÄŒWÊ·, 1921). In ¡°the literature of Choseon¡±(³¯õr? ÎÄŒW, 1915), he raising the denotation of world literature above the vertical axis, assuming that the imagination of the origin of ¡°world literature¡± far exceeds the boundaries of the literary spectrum after modern times of Western. After this reckless attempt, however, he only lined up a long list of Choseon-Chinese literature within the history of Choseon literature. Conversely, in ¡°the history of Choseon literature¡±(³¯õrÎÄŒWÊ·, 1921), he expands the denotation of world literature horizontally and imagined the denotation of Choseon literature that exists in one part of the spectrum of world literature.
Finally, in Choi, Namseon(´ÞÄÏÉÆ), the world already existed before literature. It was a means of capturing the world that already existed with the world¡¯s knowledge in his magazine. He imagined ¡®world¡¯ and ¡®knowledge of world¡¯ as a form of encylopedia. He came to ask how to take the position of ¡®Choseon Literature¡¯ in encyclopedia as world.
