Abstract

This article is motivated by the existence of ambiguity about a famous figure in Cadas Pangeran area, called Prince Surianagara Kusumahdinata or Prince Kornel. This article used descriptive analysis method based on data collection from literature review, historical documents, and interviews. The article aims to describe: 1) the figure of Prince Kornel in literary perspective; 2) the figure of Prince Kornel in historical perspective; and 3) the synchronization of Prince Kornel character in literature and history. The results show that the character of Prince Kornel in literature and history is not significantly different. The difference between the two perspectives lies in its purpose. While the imagination in literature aims to create a more alive depiction of Prince Kornel, the historical account is based on factual events. On the other hand, there is a relation between the factual and fictional figure of Prince Kornel which suggests that the story of Prince Kornel in literature was produced by historical events and oral tradition about Prince Kornel that spread in the community of Sumedang Regency. It can be said that the story of Prince Kornel in literary and historical perspectives is interconnected and influences each other.
