This joint research dealt with various problems about the complex relationship between literature and medicine at particular period of times. Yutaka Semba tried to focus on the topic of literature and neurasthenia which raged at the latter half of the nineteenth-century Europe. Semba also traced the relationship between literature and neurasthenia back into the eighteenth-century and found their origin in the literary expression of traditional melancholy in the eighteenth century. From the view point of comparative literature Semba studied the aspect of Soseki Natsume's neurasthenia in the context of above mentioned European neurasthenia rage and its introduction to Japan in the Meiji era. Semba issued 8 articles related to these subjects. Ichiro Koguchi dealt with the topics of literature and medicine, mainly focusing on the British Romantic poets' works and pointed out the importance of scientific metaphors during their creative periods. Koguchi published 3 related articles.
