| Research Abstract |
This project's aim was to research the last Manuscript of Henry David Thoreau, Wild Fruits recently textualized in 2000 from Norton Publisher (USA) edited by Professor Dean. The targets of the research were first to clarify the contents and structure of the text, secondly to interpret an ecological philosophy and structure of the manuscript as a whole. For that purpose the project translated the text, Wild Fruits, into Japanese to understand the academic sources referred by Thoreau and grasp the contents of the text itself as well.
As for the achievement of the research, I could quote the following 4 items:
1. Publication of a Translated Wild Fruits from Shohakusha based in Tokyo
2. Three Academic papers in the academic Journals
3. Two presentations at International Conferences
4. Three review essays relating the project theme
