| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
1. I wrote and edited a book, Coleridge and Contemplation, which Oxford University Press have agreed to publish. It will be published in early 2017.
2. I organized a conference on the project at Cambridge University, August 2015.
3. I wrote a chapter for ed. Hamilton, The Philosophy of Rhythm, Oxford Univ. Press, 2016.
4. I commenced work on three more journal articles, which I will to submit to international peer-reviewed journals in AY 2016-17. I also continued to work on the advanced (almost finished) draft of my second book to emerge from this JSPS C&C project. That monograph, Coleridge's Contemplative Philosophy, will be submitted to OUP in 2016-17.
5. I commissioned from Prof. Roger Scruton (Oxford Univ.) an essay for Coleridge Bulletin Summer 2015. The essay acknowledged the support of the JSPS and my JSPS project. In that same journal edition I introduced my JSPS project, and Dr Dillon Struwig and Ms Emily Holman wrote a report of the Kyoto conference (27-29 March, 2015).
6. I proofread and edited for Prof. Douglas Hedley (Cambridge Univ.) his book, The Iconic Imagination (Bloomsbury, 2016). Prof. Hedley named me in the acknowledgements and cites my contribution in eight separate footnotes.

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
My research collaborators in Japan, Spain, UK, and USA are well organized and professional, as are the contacts at the Literature Department at Oxford University Press. This all meant that deadlines were kept and that work was efficiently done.
As well as working in my university office, I also continued working in the evening at home. This allowed me to run the project to an efficient and smoothly running schedule.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
My main JSPS work for 2016-17 is to bring my two books to publication. Coleridge and Contemplation will be published by OUP, and I will now work hard to publish my second book with OUP too.
I am also writing three articles that I hope to publish in Philosophy and Literature or the Journal of the History of Ideas; the Journal of Romanticism; and the British Journal of Aesthetics.
I will also lecture at the biennial Coleridge Summer Conference at Bristol University this August. I will present a new reading of Coleridge's water-insect emblem, which is an analogy of the imagination. I will expand that paper into a fourth article to publish this or next year.

| Causes of Carryover |
The budget could not be calculated with 100% precision, especially when dealing with overseas expenses, as that makes prices in yen more variable.
|
| Expenditure Plan for Carryover Budget |
The remaining funds will be carried over for book and travel costs.
