| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
William Blake, a poet of English Romanticism, artist, and engraver, is often regarded as a poet of mysticism and symbolism. Blake, however, was a social reformer, writing poems on poverty and inequality caused by the Industrial Revolution and seeking for an ideal state of society. The legacy of Blake as a social reformer was inherited by William James Linton, an engraver, and Walter Crane, an illustrator, who was apprenticed to Linton. Moreover, some of those who read social criticism in the poetry of Blake had great interest in 'A New Village' founded by MUSHAKOJI (MUSHANOKOJI) Saneatsu in Japan. For the detail of the relationship between MUSHAKOJI and Blake, see Hikari Sato, 'MUSHAKOJI (MUSHANOKOJI) Saneatsu and William Blake: Between Symbiotic Cooperation and Hierarchical Competition' (Interdisciplinary Cultural Studies, 22 (2017), pp. 23-47, in Japanese).

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
調査の過程で、クレインを取り巻く人脈の中に、従来のブレイク受容史研究の中では論じられたことのない重要な人物が含まれていることと、その人物が実際にブレイクのいくつかの作品に積極的な関心を寄せたことを示す証拠が見つかった。また、英国社会主義思想史の水脈をたどる中で、ブレイクと武者小路実篤との接点を発見したのが大きな収穫である。従来のブレイク研究でも、武者小路実篤研究でも、この事実は知られておらず、本研究計画で当初想定した方向には含まれない発見である。拙論「武者小路実篤とウィリアム・ブレイク――共生と競争の狭間で」（『超域文化科学紀要』22号）は武者小路実篤研究に対する新たな貢献である。
