A Study of the Bronte Juvenilia (2) …Branwell Bronte…

这一研究项目的重点是布兰威尔·勃朗特参与创作勃朗特少年的过程，时间长达近15年。在最初的十年里，布兰威尔和他的妹妹夏洛特一起工作，在题材和故事发展方面对她产生了很大的影响。在这个项目的第一年，我处理的是布兰威尔的《年轻人的历史》。这种散文叙事意义重大，因为它与夏洛特当时的几部作品相似。我试图追溯布兰威尔和夏洛特是如何相互影响的，并讨论了布兰威尔在他的故事中反对非洲原住民的特点。在第二年，我处理了布兰威尔的两个战争故事，标题分别是《侵略战争》和《侵略战争》。他们被认为在整个安格里安故事的发展中发挥了巨大的作用。我在我的项目中处理的三个主要叙事，加上我已经讨论过的一个英国人的来信，就散文作品而言，涵盖了布兰威尔在青春期的第一阶段。我还介绍了英国勃朗特学会出版的《勃朗特研究》上发表的关于布兰韦尔的最新研究成果。除上述研究外，我还于2001年4月出版了夏洛特·勃朗特的译本《未开卷的叶子》，以及凯文莎出版社于2001年10月出版的题为《勃朗特少年时期的后殖民特征》的文章。除了对勃朗特青春花的研究外，我最近还开始了对19世纪末以来勃朗特在日本的接受情况的额外研究。我在《勃朗特研究》(第27卷，第2部分)上写了一篇文章，在日本研九社出版的《崛起的一代》(第148卷，第4期和第5期)上写了两篇文章。

This research project focused on the involvement of Branwell Bronte in the process of creating the Bronte juvenilia covering a period of nearly fifteen years. Branwell worked together with his sister Charlotte for the first ten years and influenced her greatly in terms of the subject matter as well as story development.In the first year of this project, I deal with The History of the Young Men' by Branwell. This prose narrative is significant because it parallels several of Charlotte's works at this time. I tried to trace how Branwell and Charlotte influence on each other, and discussed features of Branwell's which were against the native Africans in his stories.In the second year, I dealt with Branwell's two war stories entitled 'The War of Encroachment' and 'The War of Aggression'. They are considered to have played a large role in the development of the Angrian tales as a whole. The three major narratives I dealt with in my project, plus Letters from an Englishman' which I have already discussed, covered Branwell's first stage in the juvenilia as far as prose work was concerned. I also introduced research results of the latest studies on Branwell which were published in the Bronte Studies published by the Bronte Society England.In addition to the research mentioned above, I published a translation of 'A Leaf from an Unopened Volume' by Charlotte Bronte published by Takashobo & Yumi Press in April 2001, as well as an article entitled Post-colonial Features in the Bronte Juvenilia' published by Kaibunsha in October 2001. Besides the reseach on the Bronte juvenilia, I have recently started additional research on the reception of the Brontes in Japan since the late nineteenth century. I authored an article in the Bronte Studies (vol.27, part 2) and two articles in the Rising Generation (vol.148, issues 4 & 5) published by Kenkyusha, Japan.
