Abstract

By gaining insight into the essence, structure, and role of national consciousness and its manifestations in Southern Vietnamese patriotic literature in the late nineteenth century, the paper argues that this literary period contributed to the evocation of Vietnamese national consciousness, and their awareness of origin, identity, historical and cultural tradition, and national territory and sovereignty, thereby promoting the spirit of unity and the power of national independence movements during the French invasion of Vietnam. It is also based on these diverse and multifaceted manifestations of national consciousness in Southern Vietnamese patriotic literature in the late nineteenth century that the features, values, and position of this literary period can be indicated.
