| Outline of Research at the Start |
1937年に出版されたJ.R.R. トールキンの『ホビットの冒険』以前、主にトールキンのリーズ大学講師時代に行った初期の未刊学術講演'Celts and Teutons'、およびブリテン島におけるケルト語の地名の残存をめぐるLydneyに関する草稿の手稿原稿のトランスクリプトを作成し、これに注釈等を加え、校訂本としての出版を目指す。
|
| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The Tolkien manuscripts examined during this research at the Bodleian Library, Oxford, date from his early academic career, before the publication of The Hobbit (1937), which brought him into the limelight as a fantasy writer.
The principal manuscripts studied during this project concerned Tolkien's public lecture titled "Celts and the Teutons in the Early World" (1929) from his time at Leeds University. The examination revealed Tolkien's fundamental view on the relationship between the Germanic languages and the Celtic languages, which was further explored in his later lecture, "English and Welsh." Other manuscripts examined during this project include those concerning his article, "The Name Nodens" (1932). The correspondence between Tolkien and Mortimer Wheeler, who presided over the archaeological survey at Lydney Park, and that between Tolkien and Allen Mawer, the authority of Place name studies, are also studied.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
"Celts and the Teutons in the Early World" (1929)の手稿原稿に関する研究はトールキン研究において、全く未踏のものであり、トールキンの「ケルト」の概念の根幹、および後の“English and Welsh”への発展過程が明らかに出来たのは大きな成果である。
また、“The Name Nodens” (1932)の手稿原稿およびこの考古学調査を行ったMortimer Wheelerとの書簡のやりとり、またこの原稿の準備段階で地名研究の権威Allen Mawerと交わした書簡の調査も、今まで全く行われておらず、トールキン研究に大きく貢献できるものである。
