Thomas Blake Glover (1838-1911)is a Scottish trader who came to Japan at the end of the Edo period. He established Glover & Co. in Nagasaki and traded arms and ships with anti-Tokugawa clans, mainly with the Satsuma clan. He is often regarded as a supporter of the anti-Tokugawa samurai and as a contributor to the Meiji Restoration. Indeed, though Glover in later years contributed to the modernization of Japan in more peaceful ways, introducing shipbuilding docks, coal mining, railways, a mint, a brewery, and so on, the most prominent career in his life is that of "a merchant of death" in the very last days of the Tokugawa Shogunate. This essay examines the significance of his role at the end of the Edo period from the perspective of British diplomatic policy towards Japan in the 1860s and its rivalry with France. Throughout the 19th century, Great Britain had been the biggest empire among the great world powers. However, when Tokugawa Japan was forced to open the country to the world, neither Britain nor other western great powers had the intention to colonize Japan. They had learned that to plant colonies and to maintain them cost too much, and they also had spent much money on the Crimean War and other wars by the 1850s. What they wanted instead was the profit from free trade with Japan. Britain's diplomatic policy in particular was shifting to what is called "small Britain policy" during 1860s-70s, which promoted not colonization but free trade. After the 1880s, Britain and France resumed expansion of their colonies, mainly on the African continent. Therefore, Japan was lucky enough to escape the destiny of being colonized in spite of the disturbance of domestic politics, because the last days of the Tokugawa Shogunate in the 1860s were the very time of slackened foreign pressures. After Japanese ports were officially opened in 1859, Britain and other great powers' diplomacy with Japan was strongly united with their trade policy towards Japan, and the rivalry between Britain and France inevitably developed gradually. As trade policy can determine diplomatic policy, Britain and France began to take different attitudes towards the Tokugawa Shogunate in order to secure their own profit from commerce. France continuously supported Tokugawa because Japanese official trade with foreign countries was under the control of the Shogunate at that time, and France wanted to promote trade through strong ties with the Shogunate. On the other hand, Britain gradually distanced themselves from the Tokugawa Shogunate and showed understanding towards anti-Tokugawa clans, because Britain, as a promoter of free trade, found that those anti-Tokugawa clans also wanted free trade with foreign countries. Thomas Blake Glover, then an ambitious Scottish trader representing the British Empire, was the very man who did his illegal business with those anti-Tokugawa clans outside of Shogunate-control. Glover was such a wellknown and influential trader among anti-Tokugawa samurai that his significance was recognized by British Consul to Japan. Glover even arranged for Harry Parkes, the British Consul to Japan, to visit Satsuma, and this turned out to be a turning point for Parkes's policy. As a result, British diplomatic and trade policy with Japan won over that of France, and after the Meiji restoration, the modernization of Japan was carried out under the strong influence of Britain rather than France.

"Romeo and Julietta" is the 25th novel of William Painter's The Palace of Pleasure, Tome 2 (1567), and is one of the sources of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet (1595). Painter's "Romeo and Julietta" is a minor source compared to Arthur Brooke's The Tragicall Historye of Romeus and Juliet (1562), which Shakespeare mainly referred to, and therefore has not been paid much attention to so far. This essay first tries to evaluate Painter's work as the second source of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet by comparing it with Brooke's and Shakespeare's. Through the comparison of each work's introduction of the story, handling of "Fortune", characters of Romeo/Romeus and Juliet/Julietta, and the ending of the story, it is obvious how Shakespeare arranged his sources to make his dramatic version effective for the audience's minds. It can also be seen that Shakespeare is not only under the influence of Brooke's long poetic story, but also had the effects of Painter's simple and compact story in mind. The latter part of this essay is a Japanese translation of Painter's "Romeo and Julietta", which will make it easier to compare Shakespeare's two sources.

本研究では、主として英国初期近代(エリザベス朝およびジェイムズ朝)の演劇作品および当時の役者・劇団・劇場の総合研究を「歴史実証主義的立場」から新たに検証し直す作業を行なった。とくに「デジタルアーカイヴズ」を多用して、定説と考えられてきた既存の概念・理論を、現存する公文書や有力な歴史的基礎資料を根幹とした「検証可能な方法」で再検討し直すことを最大の特徴とした。この研究手法により、当時の劇作家、幹部俳優、劇場所有者、印刷出版業者等をはじめとした「演劇世界全般の相関的ネットワーク構築」の特徴的なありようを、演劇理論や劇作家と劇団研究、個々の劇作品とその出版等を通して追究した。

2006年1月から2007年7月にかけて、鹿児島在住の英国近代初期演劇研究者の仲間たちが集まって、月に1回の割合で、エリザベス1世時代の劇作家、ジョージ・ピールの『ダビデとバテシバ』の輪読会を行なった。一連の翻訳は、その輪読会の成果である。ジョージ・ピールは彼の劇作品に様々な題材を取り入れており、『ダビデとバテシバ』は、聖書のサムエル記下の記事を題材として扱ったものである。劇のあらすじは、基本的には聖書の中に書かれた内容と同じであるが、その描き方にはかなりの相違点が見られ、ピールの独自性が顕著である。翻訳に際しては、毎回、担当者が準備してきた試訳を全員で細部にいたるまで議論、検討し、その都度必要に応じて修正した。それを、丹羽佐紀が取りまとめて文体の統ーを図った。従って、原文の解釈については5名の共訳者が等しく責任を負い、訳文の文体および表現については、主に丹羽に責任がある。解説と訳注の執筆は、丹羽が担当した。
