Outline of Final Research Achievements |
First, we demonstrated that in the 17th century, within the context of his relationship with Louis XIV, Moliere was considered as a successor to the classical Latin comedy writers. Focusing in particular on his staging of the festivities at Versailles, we established that Moliere’s work was a mirror of a society that practised the ancient definition of comedy, and that in terms of cultural policy, it played a major role in the process of establishing the absolute monarchy of King Louis XIV. Then, in examining Moliere's reputation in the 18th century, we found that there was a prevailing theory that his influence had ceased in the literary world. However, it appears that this is not the case, as there was only a brief period of unpopularity, and that there is room for further verification in this respect.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
ルイ14世の治世に関わってきたモリエールの評価を、芸術的見地のみならず、史学、政治学的という複数の側面からアプローチを試みたことにより文学研究でありながら、厚みのある研究ができた。また、自明の理として存在する定説が必ずしも事実であるわけではないこと、研究者はそれを鵜のみにするのではなく、検証して事実を次世代に伝えることが専門家、研究者に課せられた使命であることを確信した。
