| Research Abstract |
Count Benyowsky (1795)written by August F. F. von Kotzebue (1761-1819)is a variant of what is called Turkish Operas featuring enlightened heroes. Surprisingly enough, his play had been handed down to many literary works by the mid-20th century. That is where the influence of Benyowsky's Memoirs and Travels (1791)can be found in Germany. In England where his Memoirs were published in 1790, a year prior to the German version, the milieu of the reception of travel journals had been already created. Given his participation in the insurrections against the Russians in Poland and Kamchatka, Benyowsky's warnings of Russia's southward policy to the Tokugawa shogunate is surely more than just ravings that have been generally regarded among the Japanese to date.
