研究実績の概要 |
We have been working as a group on eighteenth century environmental aesthetics. The extent to which environmental thought is dominated by the middle class was first argued by my work on the legacy of natural theology, 'The Moral Language of Nature', which has been accepted for publication by Romanticism. Kaz Oishi has advanced my initial thesis by looking at the representations of suburbia in the mid-eighteenth century by middle-class writers and poets. He has also reviewed the influential eighteenth century concept of the sublime in connection with the overall project's preoccupation with environmental aesthetics. Yuko Otagaki has examined how the aesthetic of modern pedestrian travel literature spread to Japan through the writers of the Meiji era. Finally, Kuri Katsuyama has been trying to connect environmental aesthetics to class in a more comprehensive way by looking at the representations of the Chinese garden in travel accounts by upper, middle and working-class writers in the late eighteenth century.

The work has gone smoothly because everyone has kept to the deadlines that we all agreed on. Despite everyone's busy schedules, we have also managed to meet several times to iron out various problems and difficulties.

今後の研究の推進方策 |
I am currently trying to distinguish a working- or labouring class perspective on the land. I've read two papers on this topic and received a lot of feedback, which made me aware of the additional work that I need to do, particularly on the representations of common land and the common field system. Yuko will try to connect the Rousseauian heritage of pedestrian travel literature with eighteenth-century labouring class poetry, focussing in particular on topographical representations facilitated by the activity of walking. Kuri will read a paper in connection with her work on the Chinese Garden, and from the feedback work her research up into an article or book chapter for publication. Finally, Kaz will move on to look at representations of farmland and farming by Arthur Young and William Cobbett.

次年度使用額が生じた理由 |
The cost of Rosemarie Dias and Simon J. White's visit to Nagoya in April 2014 was less than expected.

次年度使用額の使用計画 |
I intend to use the money to buy books and to photocopy materials in England related to my research on the Leasowes and eighteenth-century landscape gardening in general.
