영문 초록

  This study draws on the arguments of Liam Kennedy, Michael Morales, and Louise Montrose, among others, and analyzes the act of "rewriting history" in two dramatic texts: Randolph Edmonds" Nat Turner (1934) and Thomas Pawley"s Messiah (1948). It also investigates the cultural and ideological motivations that are thought to have been intervened in the process of "rewriting history."
  It starts with Thomas Gray"s The Confessions of Nat Turner (1831), a text known to be the origin of all literary work on the 1831 Nat Turner Rebellion, and highlights the distortion Gray brought onto the image of Nat Turner, leader of the rebellion. It then looks into the ways in which Edmonds reclaimed the distorted, silenced historical hero and identifies cultural and ideological motivations of the early 1930s that are thought to have intervened in the production of the text, such motivations as the impact of the Great Depression, the rise of social realism, and the Negro Little Theatre Movement. It repeats the analysis process with Thomas Pawley"s text and locates cultural and ideological motivations that are suspected to have intervened in the production of Pawley"s text, such motivations as the rise of McCarthyism, the creation of racial harmonic environment after World War Ⅱ, and the significance of the double audience issue. In the conclusion, the study reemphasizes the "textuality of history and the historicity of text" and argues that the two texts are open to further/different readings.
