| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The main focus of this study was the literary and artistic landscape of Ulster (north-east of the island of Ireland) in the first half of the 20th century. In particular, it examined how the Irish partition and the creation of the Irish border were portrayed in literary works. The works of writers from different backgrounds were examined from various perspectives regarding their depictions of 'border' consciousness. By discussing examples of each writer, the study attempted to illuminate an aspect of the literature on post-partition Ulster and the island of Ireland during the transitional period.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の学術的意義は、これまでの文学史の記述において紙幅を割かれることの少なかった20世紀前半のアルスターの文学（おもに詩と小説）について、部分的ながら照射することができた点にある。1920年代に既成事実化した南北アイルランド国境、そしてその近辺で生活する人びとの光景が文学作品にどのように表象されていたかについて、考察を深めることができた。
また、William Butler Yeats の後の世代を代表する詩人 Patrick Kavanagh について、さらに研究活動を進めることができた。
