Bibliographical Analysis of the Elizabethan Play-Texts

在2004年的第一年，本研究项目的核心——《污秽亨利的著名胜利》（1598）的文本分析研究以完成《马龙学会再版》系列的文本导论为目标展开。该剧由托马斯·克里德在伦敦的莎士比亚剧院印刷，1617年，他的继任者也印刷了第二版。印刷过程的每一个方面和文本传输作为一个材料书是通过检查在英国和美国举行的原始副本的直接调查研究。安东尼·詹姆斯·韦斯特的书评《莎士比亚第一对开本：书的历史》和一些关于参考书目的简短注释也于今年出版。2005年11月，我在东京举行的日本莎士比亚学会会议上发表演讲，介绍《亨利五世的著名胜利》的文本研究。12月，我在京都同志社大学为英语有缺陷的学生举办了书目讲座。2006年3月，我在《莎士比亚新闻》上发表了《大学教育与莎士比亚书目》一文。这表明我们可以如何反思。大学课程中的文本分析和目录学研究，这在日本大学中似乎很少见。2007年，我在日本莎士比亚协会（Shakespeare Society of Japan）的一份刊物上发表了一篇文章，内容涉及莎士比亚和其他剧作家的印刷商约翰·丹特（John Danter）。他和他的排字工、印刷工，特别是他的印刷厂的一个代理人，可能是亨利·切特尔，一起从事印刷业务。本文还将重点介绍他的生活和事业，以及莎士比亚那个时代的戏剧文本是如何从1591年到1599年在他的小印刷厂生产出来的。最后，今年我出版了马龙协会版的《亨利五世的著名胜利》。

In the initial year, 2004, the research of the textual analysis of The Famous Victories of Henry the Filth(1598), the core of this research project, started with a view to complete Introduction' of the text for the Malone Society Reprints series. The play was printed by Thomas Creede in the Shakespearean London, and the second edition was also put to print in 1617 by his successor. Every aspect of the printing process and of the textual transmission as a material book was researched through direct investigations of examining the original copies held in UK and USA. A book review of Anthony James West, The Shakespeare First Folio : The History of the Book and some brief notes on Bibliography were also published this year. In 2005, I spoke at the Shakespeare Society of Japan Conference to present the textual studies of The Famous Victories of Henry the Fifth in Tokyo in November. In December, I held a lecture of Bibliography for English Faulty students of Doshisha University in Kyoto. In March 2006, I published an essay on University Education and Shakespeare Bibliography for Shakespeare News. This shows how we can reflect. textual analysis and studies of bibliography in university curricula, which are, it seems, rare in Japanese universities. In 2007, I published an article for a Shakespeare Society of Japan festschrift, which deals with John Danter, a printer of Shakespeare and other dramatists. He was involved in printing business with his compositors, pressmen, and, especially, an agent at his printing-house, who was, probably, Henry Chettle. This article also focuses on his life and career, as well as how the dramatic texts of Shakespeare's age were produced at his small printing-house from 1591 through 1599. Finally, I published a Malone Society edition of The Famous Victories of Henry the Fifth 1598 this year.
