Vai trò của dịch thuật, báo chí đối với sự ra đời và phát triển của văn xuôi quốc ngữ Nam Bộ cuối thế kỷ XIX đầu thế kỷ XX

Abstract

Regarding to the formation and development of the national language prose in the Southern of Vietnam from the late 19th to the early 20th century, the great role of translation and national language press must be mentioned. Translation not only helped spread the national language widely to the readers, but also helped them enjoy some foreign literary masterpieces which had just heard before. Besides, translating also helped writers have more opportunities to improve their skills in using the national language, practice their writing skills as well as learn the writing techniques of developed countries. However, the translation works could not reach readers without the national language press. With the publication of many literary works, the national language press has become a fertile and nurturing land to train and challenge the skills of the writer at that time. Since then, the literature readers also originated from the press readers and modern Vietnamese literature also began to sprout from here.
