Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study is structured around a detailed analysis of the poetic texts composed in three languages (English, French, and Latin) by the medieval English poet John Gower during the Hundred Years’ War and gathered together in London, British Library, MS Additional 59495, commonly known as the Trentham manuscript. It has demonstrated that the Trentham collection was carefully designed to give expression to Gower’s ardent wish for the establishment of permanent peace between England and France; and, in doing so, it has also examined from multiple perspectives the cross-Channel and transnational literary relationships that gave rise to Gower’s multifaceted trilingual oeuvre.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

ジョン・ガワーの作品を研究するうえでは,これまで彼の主要作品とされる長篇の英詩『恋する者の告解』(Confessio Amantis) に研究者の関心が偏る傾向が見られたが,近年になって,英語以外の言語で書かれた詩作品に対しても急速に関心が高まりつつある。本研究は,trilingual poetとしてのガワーの詩作活動の全般を視野に収めたものであり,言語間,国家間,学問領域間の狭間に埋もれがちであったガワーの仏語作品の再評価を促すという意義を有した。と同時に,英仏比較文学研究の新たな可能性を示唆することにも貢献し得たと考えられる。
