This book explores the history of modern Korean literature from a
sociocultural perspective. Rather than focusing solely on specific
authors and their works, Young Min Kim argues that the development
of modern media, shifting conceptualizations of the author, and a
growing mass readership fundamentally shaped the types of
narratives that appeared at the turn of the twentieth century. In
particular, Kim follows the trajectory of the sin sosol (new
fiction) as it meshed with the new print and media culture to give
rise to innovative and hybrid genres and literary styles. In doing
so, he compellingly illuminates the relationship between literary
systems and forms and underscores the necessity of re-locating
literary texts in their sociohistorical contexts.
