| 研究開始時の研究の概要 |
From Captain Cook’s voyage in 1768 to the beginning of the First World War in 1914, the Pacific became the increasing focus of Anglophone literary imaginations. This project will investigate the important questions these paratexts raise about the distinction between factual and fiction representations and the relationship between British and American accounts of the region. It will also explore the parallels between the intellectual traffic traversing the margins of these texts and the movements of goods and commodities being transported across the Pacific.

| 研究実績の概要 |
I published a peer-reviewed article on Edgar Allan Poe’s notes in "Review of Asian and Pacific Studies" no 45 (2020); a peer-reviewed article on Akira Kurosawa’s “Kagemusha” and Shakespeare’s English History Plays in Volume 33 Issue 1 of “Critical Survey”; and an online article on 18th century footnotes for Eighteenth Century Paratext Research Network.
I gave a special talk on Byron and Mitford at Tubingen University, Germany and a paper on George Forster at “The Intermedial Eighteenth Century” Conference at Northumbria University, UK. I also gave a talk on footnotes at Nerdnight, Tokyo.
I completed a full draft of a chapter on Coleridge and began a draft of a chapter on Melville and an article on W. G. Sebald’s intermedial annotation, for a special journal issue I am planning to co-edit.

2: おおむね順調に進展している
理由
My personal research is proceeding largely as planned. However I had planned to hold an international conference related to this project entitled Pacific Paratexts in November 2020. I had secured Professor Rod Edmond and Ann Johnston as plenaries, sent out an international call for papers and made a conference website. However, due to the coronoa virus situation I have decided to delay the conference to October or November 2021. This will mean I need to reserve funds originally allocated for this year to next year and apply for an extension.

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
I managed to give some international talks via zoom this year. I also focused on my developing my monograph project. However, due to the corona virus situation, I will not be able to organize the mooted conference in November this year, as I had hoped.
Due to the continuation of the corona virus situation, I will continue to focus on the monograph project. I plan to give papers in the “Around the Text” conference at University of Birmingham, UK, and at the “Romantic Generations” Conference in Melbourne. I also plan to complete the special journal issue, and submit an essay to the “Re-Indigenizing Romanticism” special issue of “Studies in Romanticism”. I plan to apply for a year extension of my Kakenhi so that the “Pacific Paratexts” conference can take place in either Spring or Autumn 2022.
