論文の詳細を見る
"Letters to X" is Kobayashi Hideo's last novel. He began concentrating on literary criticism after writing it. This essay clarifies that this novel shows the final point that Kobayashi had reached through his creative activity as a novelist on the one hand and the anticipation for the new prospect that he developed later in the area of literary criticism on the other.lt also examines his linguistic sense, his methods of criticizing ideologies, and the strategy that he adopted to manage the matters in the political structure of the literary world. Then it clarifies that his literary criticism, the main targets of which are the overly political tendency of the proletarian literature and overly naive literature-ism developed by the so-called "geijutsu-ha (art for arts sake)", was shaped through the critical examination of literary works through analyzing the process of the production and the circulation of linguistic expression.
