Research Theme*

19世紀アメリカ文学（小説・詩）を幅広く研究している。なかでもハーマン・メルヴィルを中心としたアメリカン・ルネサンス期の作家に強い関心を抱いている。ただし研究対象は19世紀にとどまらず、これまでチャールズ・ブロックデン・ブラウン（初期アメリカ）やウィリアム・フォークナー（モダニズム）らも論文で取り上げてきた。現在は、アメリカ文学における「ひとりであること」の意味を探るべく、「孤独」や「個人主義」をテーマとして研究に取り組んでいる。

Writing a Durable Mark: A Community of Isolatoes in John Marr and Other Sailors Peer-reviewed

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：JOHNS HOPKINS UNIV PRESS

Taking the solitude that permeates John Marr and Other Sailors (1888) as a central point of inquiry, this essay argues that the first four poems in the collection-"John Marr," "Bridegroom Dick," Tom Deadlight," and "Jack Roy"-compose what I term "a community of isolatoes." While the poetical utterances of solitary ex-sailors in these poems seem misaddressed at first glance, I view them as forming polyphonic voices rather than offering monologues. Furthermore, I situate these poems in a long genealogy of Melville's postal imagery that dates back to the early 1850s, especially the dead letters in "Bartleby, the Scrivener" (1853). In Melville's formulation, a dead letter refers not to a letter's death but to a suspended state where the letter fluctuates between life and death, waiting to be read and restored. By figuratively construing John Marr as a dead letter partly addressed to future readers, this essay joins recent scholarly efforts to challenge the critical image of Melville in his later years as a solitary recluse.

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：UNIV TORONTO PRESS INC

This article examines Herman Melville's Benito Cereno as a transnational text by centring on two key words: the verb transcend and the noun distance. Through analysis of the trope of distance, this article aims to shed light on a way of imagining the alterity of the other that Benito Cereno presents to twenty-first century Americanists.
