| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study was conducted to analyze the various representations of travel in the works of American Renaissance writers such as Hawthorne or Fuller, and placed their works in the genre of travel writing, which has been paid much more attention in recent years from many academic disciplines. The largest contribution of this research to the study field of American literature in Japan is that it has succeeded in showing that Sophia Peabody Hawthorne, who has been known in Japan maily as the wife of the famous American Renaissance writer Nathaniel Hawthorne, was herself a good writer of travelogues as well as a keen observer of Cuban nature and society which she witnessed before she got married to Hawthorne or of England and Italy where she went with her family in her middle years. The results of this study are included as articles in some important books on the study of American Renaissance literature.
