More recently, I have been working on nineteenth-century "globe-trotter" travel writing, particularly narratives written in the decades after the opening of Japan in the 1850s. I'm currently editing a volume on Pacific travel writing.    ■ 研究分野 英米・英語圏文学    ■ 研究キーワード Travel writing  18世紀イギリス文学  Victorian literature  Asia-Pacific in English Literature    ■ 競争的資金等の研究課題 “Positioning Tokyo as Global City: Anglo-American Narratives of the New Japanese Capital, 1868–1922”  科学研究費  2018-現在  “Chained Islands: Cultural Interactions Between Japan and Britain, 1630–1850”  科学研究費  2015-2019  JSPS Postdoctoral Research Fellowship, “The Influence of Japan on English Literature and Culture, 1600–1780”  科学研究費  2012-2014  The formation of modern civil society and the transition of spiritual culture in the representation of "time" in 18th century Russian literature (co-researcher)  科学研究費  2015-2018  詳細表示...   ■ 著書 文学的富士山ガイド  Megumi Kato et al.
