Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study examined the process through which a number of slave narratives such as Frederick Douglass's transformed from a religious genre whose pivotal point of view was God's to a more secular kind of literary genre. While gathering relevant materials at research libraries in the U.S., I gave two oral presentations on this topic and published two articles in academic journals (of which one is a refereed article). Through this study, I found out that the secularization of mid-nineteenth-century American society and its literary texts was closely related with the emergence and development of the discourse of luck, probability, and risk, which should be my next research theme.
