19세기 무역과 식민지 확장을 위해 중국에 유입된 서양 외교관, 세관, 선교사 등은 장기간 중국 체류를 통해 얻은 식견을 바탕으로 중국 정치, 외교, 경제, 사회, 종교, 문학, 언어 등 방면에 있어 방대한 연구 성과를 내며 중국학의 기틀을 세웠다. 이때 중국의 의식주, 명절, 여가생활, 학 교, 신앙 등 중국인의 일상생활 및 사상에 대해 보고 체험한 바를 적은 ‘이야기집’도 출판되었다. 삽화나 사진과 함께 중국의 세세한 일상을 기 록한 이야기집은 재중 서양인이 중국을 쉽게 이해할 수 있게 돕는 백과 사전이자 후발 선교사나 관료를 위한 선행학습서 역할을 했다. 이야기집 은 주요 저자는 선교사이며, 이야기집의 출판은 기독교 단체와 기독교 홍보에 기여한 민영 출판사에 의해 주도 되었다. 이들은 선교사가 목표 했던 문명화 사역의 정당성을 입증하는 수단이 되는 한편, 19세기 대두 된 민속학(Folklore) 연구를 위한 풍부한 자료 출처가 되었다. 이야기집 은 19세기 서양인이 중국문화와 접촉, 충돌하며 이루어낸 시대적 산물 로, ‘식민지 전개’와 ‘선교’, 그리고 ‘민속학’의 교집합 안에 있다.

This paper examines in some detail the relationship between Elizabeth Corbet Yeats and her brother, William Butler Yeats, pertaining to the activities of the Cuala Press which Elizabeth ran as the printer from 1902 (as the Dun Emer Press and then, the Cuala Press from 1908) while William was the editor, selecting and soliciting books. Their relationship, while stormy all-along, and determined by William’s authoritative editorial choices undermining his sister’s literary role, was, nonetheless, mitigated by William’s attribution of the key role as the printer and publisher to Elizabeth. The relationship was thus often ambivalent and elusive, like many such family ties, than has generally been acknowledged by scholars.

A major history textbook for high schools, A Modern History of Korea for High School (Seoul: Kumsung Publishing House, 2007) described that Protestantism in Korea supported Japanese invasion to Korea. The text book has been used for many years by more than 50% high schools in South Korea. The argument of this book is very important because it might influence over high school students who think that the text book should always be correct. However, Protestantism in Korea was not the supporter of the Japan Empire in the turn-of-twentieth century Asia. In reality, Korea Protestantism had been appeared by Korean people as defender of Korean people against Japanese power. At that time Korea protestantism had been closely related to America which send their missionaries to Korea and helped its modernization. When Japan tried to put Korea in her power, King KoJong sent his envoy to the president Roosevelt of USA for help to maintain his independence. In reality, Japan government had considered Korean Protestantism as big obstacle for its rule over Korea. Japan had always be afraid of Korean Christianity and spied over it. Japanese army in 1911 arrested 105 important Christian leaders to destroy Korean churches. Also, in the last years of Japan imperialism, Japan governor-general of Korea expelled American missionaries from Korean peninsular to disconnect Korean Christian relationship with America. Finally, missionaries tried to maintain the principle of separation between church and state in Korea. They did not involve in political matter either on Korean nationalism or Japanese imperialism. This attitude of missionaries could not be satisfied with Japanese as well as Korean. However, they thought that their original mission in Korea is evangelization, but not independent movement of Korea.
