| Research Abstract |
We proceeded to carry out the project according to the plan of 2003 and made efforts to accomplish a product of it.
In June and October, Nakamura visited Beinecke Library, Yale University and Firestone Library, Princeton University in order to examine Edmund Wilson's manuscripts and at the same time went to Wellfleet, Massachusetts, Talcottsville, New York, and Red Bank, New Jersey to collect Edmund Wilson's biographical materials. On the other hand, in May, he read a paper on Patriotic Gore in the symposium of "Edmund Wilson Reconsidered" at the General Meeting of English Literary Society of Japan. He also completed a Japanese version of Dear Bunny and Dear Volodya, The Nabokov-Wilson Letters, 1940-1971 and translated Edmund Wilson's essays for his Collected Essays on Civilization and Literature to be published in 2 volumes in Japan.
Sasaki also translated Edmund Wilson's essays for his Collected Essays on Civilization and Literature and wrote an essay on Charles Dickens' influence on Evelyn Waugh (Edmund Wilson published a fascinating essay on Evelyn Waugh.)
Wakashima also translated Edmund Wilson's essays for his Collected Essays on Civilization and Literature and with Nakamura, completed a Japanese version of Dear Bunny and Dear Volodya, The Nobokov-Wilson Letters, 1940-1971. In December 2002, he held a symposium, with Nakamura, on Dear Bunny and Dear Volodya, The Nabokov-Wilson Letters, 1940-1971 at the Meeting of Nobokov Society of Japan and reported it on the newsletter Krug.
