| Research Abstract |
Nakamura examined representations of Jewish people in nineteenth century English novels. He reached the conclusion that they are embodied, closely reflecting colonial racialism, as social strangers. Arima treated the problematic assimilation of Amerindians into the, native American.'He argued that such movement attests to the imperial strategy of the dominant West. Robinson examined female characters in the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century English novels in terms of current feminist theory. Ishihata examined English Romantic poetry from the viewpoint of exoticism and a habitual fascination with the East. He developed the topic from the view of ecocriticism, and presented a paper at the 69th General Convention of the Japanese Society of English Literature. Ozawa treated xenophobia and racism in the English Renaissance drama from the newhistorical point of view. Okochi examined the formation of class difference in the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century England. He presented a paper on the related subject at the 69th General Convention of the Japanese Society of English Literature, discussing representations of the poor as a social alien in the early nineteenth century. Onishi's study was focused on Francis Godwin's The Man in the Moon (1638). His translation of the work was published in Vol.2 of Iwanami Shoten's Utopian Travel Series. Our project successfully shed new light on the idea of the 'Alien' as a whole in English Literature.
