| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
As part of the research activities, I co-edited The Body and Emotions: Theorizing Affects in American Renaissance (Sairyu-sha) and The Body of John Brown: the Era of the Civil War (Kinseido) in 2016. My essay in the former collection, in particular, investigates the connection between Herman Melville’s “Benito Cereno” and Amasa Delano’s Delano’s Voyage of Commerce and Discovery (1817). Other related publications include “Nature in the Background: a Rereading of Walden” (Studies in English Language and Literature, 2017) and “A Fable of Interspecies Marriage: Gary Snyder’s Poetics of the Wild” Studies in English Language and Literature, 2018).
I do believe that the research goal stated in the grant proposal has been largely attained.
