Diễn ngôn lịch sử trong tiểu thuyết của Hoàng Quốc Hải

Abstract

This research approaches Vietnamese historical novels, focusing on the case of Hoang Quoc Hai through the lens of discourse theory. The article uses historical-cultural methods and comparative methods to determine the communicative message, narrative structure, and value of the work. Through this study, Bao tap trieu Tran (The Turmoil of the Tran Dynasty) and Tam trieu vua Ly (Eight Dynasties of King Ly) create history as a journey of the rise and fall of dynasties. The work built its content and narrative structure based on the stance of national interests associated with the role of the royal court. The fulcrum that created the meaning of the work is the original model "Father", in which the story focuses on the roles of parents, military leaders, strategists, and historical achievements. Hoang Quoc Hai's works represent the novel-legend discourse creation model. Despite being unrevolutionary, his works, with vivid storytelling and a strong sense of heroism, continue to be cherished by readers and assert the position and value of literature in society.
