| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project aimed to analyze various antislavery discourses that permeated the antebellum American society and to examine a possibility that they formed "another American Renaissance," by integrating those discourses into a literary genre. The results of this project makes it clear that the antislavery discourses can be regarded as a literary genre and that it has established a literary tradition not limited to the mid-nineteenth century but extended to the modern American literature in terms of "freedom and bondage."

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
これまで部分的にしか研究がなされていなかった奴隷制反対の様々な言説を、「反奴隷制文学」という一つの文学ジャンルとして捉えたことで、文学としての意義を付与できたこと、また、その「反奴隷制文学」が当時の政治のみと結びついた一過性の現象ではなく、「自由と隷属」という普遍的なテーマに形を変えて、現代文学に受け継がれていることを明らかにできた意味は大きい。
