| Research Abstract |
English Romantic literature, criticism and journalism between 1770 and 1830 has been investigated by myself along with the reevaluation of English imperialism and colonialism. "Coleridge and Colonialism ; 'The Lecture on the Slave Trade' and His Poetry in the 1790s" was published in GENESIS : Journal of Kyoto University of Art and design, in June 2003. The system of slave trading and the commerce of exotic products that had expanded all over the world by the Empire at the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th Centuries has also been examined. Many sources on the East Indian Company, its commerce with Guangdong in China and the Empire's control over Eastern Asia have been collected with assistance by many libraries in Japan. In order to complement the related materials the visit was made to the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London University whereby I stayed for two weeks.

don and then read at the 30th Conference of English Romantic Association at Kyoto University. Within this paper orientalism through the Chinese gardens, the historic records of the Embassy to China by Lord Macartney and the reexamination of the lectures and journals by Romantic writers was explored.
One of my essays, "Coleridge and the Orient : The Transformation of a Discourse of Otherness," was accepted and published in Voyage of Conception : Essays in English Romanticism in March 2004. Here the qualitative change of the Empire's governance and its colonial rule between 1770 and 1830 was evaluated by examining the Romantic texts and others by the contemporaries such as William Jones, Edmund Burke, James Mill and Thomas M. Macaulay. Another one entitled "Coleridge and Chinese Garden" was also accepted and published in the 29th and 30th Journal of English Romantic Association in 2005. The paper titled "The Search for the Magnetic Field and the Poles : Coleridge and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein" was also read at an annual meeting of the Kansai Coleridge Study Group in 2006 at Doshisha University. Here many historical records on the discovery of the North West Passage and Cook's voyages and their influence on the literary texts by Coleridge and Mary was investigated along with the mission of mapping magnetic lines of the earth's crust.
