さすらい人の行方 : "The Wandering Jew"をめぐる比較的考察

概要

論文の詳細を見る
A comparative reading of Shelley's early The Wandering Jew (1810) and The Triumph of Life (1821), which is unfinished at the time of his death, reveals their verbal, structural, and philosophical qualities. Both works share wandering characters as their protagonists, and depict the process and consequence of the wandering. For both characters, wandering in the wilderness is the punishment for their rebellion against deity. Shelley thus developed and extended his early concern with atheistic crime and penance in his last work. Despite these parallels, two works achieve individual effects in treating their common subject matter of sin and punishment, which will as well be discussed in this close reading.
