일제강점기 홍효민의 <인조반정>을 통해 본 역사의 서사화 = The Narrativization of History through Hong Hyo-min’s <Injo Restoration> during the Japanese Colonial Period

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This article discusses the relationship between history and literature, focusing on Hong Hyo-min’s <Injo Restoration>, a historical narrative featured in 『Monthly Yadam』, a publication that gained significant attention during the Japanese colonial period by compiling various works centered on historical literature.
『The Joseon Dynasty Records』 depict Injo (仁祖) as a ruler who raised an army to depose Gwanghaegun(光海君) and issued a grand amnesty across the nation, emphasizing the notion that Injo’s rise to power was divinely ordained and marking his success in revolutionizing the monarchy.
In contrast, Hong Hyo-min’s <Injo Restoration> vividly captures the tension, conflicts of interest, and the active participation of Prince Neungyang in the coup. Through this, the narrative fills in the gaps left by historical records, crafting plausible episodes that, while not explicitly documented, can be reasonably inferred. Moreover, the novel carefully considers the historical developments following Injo’s enthronement, deliberately avoiding an overly fictionalized or optimistic conclusion while constructing a compelling historical narrative.
