| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
As for important characteristics in modernist revival works, it has become apparent that the self-formation of protagonists who are themselves homosexual is fostered by the works of modernists. In the case of E. M. Forster, he appears in The Inheritance and Alec as one of the characters, Morgan, and his work Maurice assists in the self-realization of the protagonists within the narrative. Similar instances are also observed in the case of Virginia Woolf. Furthermore, in these biofictions, it has become evident that the U.S. is set as an ideal land. Biofiction questions traditional family images, aiming to construct new human relationships symbolized by partnerships between individuals of the same sex.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
モダニズム期以来のおよそ100年にわたる英語圏文学において、翻案がどのように行われてきたのかということを明らかにしたので、作品間のつながりを理解するための新たな視座を提案することができたと言える。また、昨今ひろく議論されている多様性というものが、これらの作品においてどのように表象されているのかも明らかにしたので、この成果が社会に還元されれば、さらに多くの社会的議論が生まれることを期待することができる。
