Abstract

One study of Indonesian literature in various universities in Indonesia is the history of Modern Indonesian literature. Many written books on Indonesian literature are then used as lecture references for the literature study. For good learning, the need for a good textbook. For this reason, this researcher tries to see two literary history books that are widely used in universities, namely the Iktisar Sejarah Sastra Indonesia (2013) written by Ajip Rosidi and Pengangar Sejarah Sastra Indonesia (2010) by Yudiono K.S. Literary history books that are widely used in lectures are not comprehensive. Textbooks used so far in addition to being disconnected from their continuity also miss many important works, authors and events. In addition there are inaccuracies in data retrieval because of the author's point of view towards certain groups. Other inconsistencies are that the author of literary history paid little attention to the elements of religion, especially Islam, in an effort to record the history of Indonesian literature. In this case, it is interesting to re-examine how the position of Islam as a religion and as a form of diversity provides a role in the history of modern Indonesian literature. For this reason it is necessary to have a history of literature that has another perspective, namely the Islamic perspective.
