陳去病（1874-1993），吳江同里人，早年支持維新運動，1903年赴日，開始接觸革命派，返國後組織黃社、秋社、南社等革命性社團。這些社團在倡導革命之餘，又以南社諸子從事「南明書寫」最為熾熱，南社在前朝找尋歷史印記的指標年代，以為呼喚國魂的媒介，同時也展現國族概念懷想的意圖。 陳去病是南社諸子早期從事「南明書寫」的代表人物。年他輯錄《陸沉叢書》記載清人入關暴行，以達革命宣傳效用，激發黃天、高旭等人反滿情緒；1904年編《清秘史》詳盡搜羅滿族歷史，力邀柳亞子作序，漸次開拓「南明書寫」風氣。1905 年起，陳去病陸續在《國粹學報》發表詩文，慷慨贈書予該刊藏書樓，除單篇史傳外，於該刊「叢談」、「史篇」欄連載《五石脂》、《明遺民錄》，整個「南明書寫」系譜建立更為完整。 就陳去病「南明書寫」顯示的意涵來看，他以黃帝紀元為南明紀實，大量記錄吳地、福建、揚州等東南地區的抗清史事，具明顯的地域性；尤其他以周莊、松陵人自居，為曾經屯兵於此的明末將領作傳，具有搜羅鄉邦文獻之意。再者，他為明末遺民作傳，著墨傳主不事異族、隱逸躲藏的事蹟，強調文字不可亡對民族傳承的重要性，則是族群復興之旨的表現。
