This book examines modern literary works from the three linguistic spheres of Korea, China, and Japan, capturing how the drama of becoming a modern subject is expressed in East Asian literature. Faced with modernity as a violent outsider, the book seeks to trace the fleeting emotional expressions of East Asian individuals through literature. Through a historically ontological comparative lens, the book witnesses how collective historical experiences and personal ontological gaps come together. Capturing the drama produced by the overlapping of these two dimensions also means revealing the unique spatiality of modern East Asia. Furthermore, the intertwining and layering of these three distinct historical climates generate a shared humanistic context\u2014this, in turn, becomes the very matrix and spatiality of the East Asian drama and shapes the content of modern subject formation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1470\" data-end=\"1873\">Professor Young Chae Seo received his B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. in Korean Language and Literature from Seoul National University.
