项目摘要

This research, whose primary sources are Victorian literary works, focuses on aspects of madness observed among urban inhabitants in Victorian England, thereby attempting to ascertain the principle of madmen's behavior and to clarify the correlation between a given social context and the psychology of an individual in it.Part one discusses notions of madness in the works of Dickens. There is actually no either-or choice between birth and breeding in his description of madness and its causes. This part has a pair of articles as offshoots from the discussion of Dickens's notions of madness. One is a study of suicide as an act of madness against God that created man in his own image, and the other is an examination of bullying - a phenomenon of madness that may be described as the maintenance of / equilibrium by the transfer of oppression.Part two targets at some of Gissing's works and Dickens's Great Expectations. Gissing, like his mentor Dickens, portrays those in the late Victorian era who lost their feudalistic sense of belonging after the Industrial Revolution and fell into a crisis of identity owing to a sense of alienation created by urban space.Part three argues that a ghost can be interpreted as the subjective projection of a character's own madness or troubled sense of identity. Here, madness and ghosts in Henry James's The Turn of the Screw and Dickens's Great Expectations are analyzed with special reference to the presentation of childhood. And besides, this part includes a pair of Victorian ghost stories put into Japanese: Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's "An Account of Some Disturbances in Aungier Street' (1853) and Mary Elizabeth Braddon's "At Chrighton Abbey"(1871).

这项研究的主要来源是维多利亚时代的文学作品，重点关注维多利亚时代英国城市居民中观察到的疯狂的各个方面，从而试图确定疯子的行为原理，并阐明特定的社会背景与个人心理之间的相关性。第一部分讨论狄更斯作品中的疯狂概念。在他对疯狂及其原因的描述中，出生和繁殖之间实际上没有非此即彼的选择。这部分有两篇文章，作为狄更斯疯狂概念讨论的分支。一个是对自杀的研究，这是对上帝按照自己的形象创造了人的疯狂行为的研究，另一个是对欺凌行为的研究——一种可以被描述为通过压迫转移来维持/平衡的疯狂现象。第二部分针对吉辛的一些作品和狄更斯的《远大前程》。吉辛和他的导师狄更斯一样，描绘了维多利亚时代晚期的人们，他们在工业革命后失去了封建归属感，并因城市空间造成的疏离感而陷入身份危机。第三部分认为鬼魂可以被解释为角色自身疯狂或身份认同感困扰的主观投射。这里对亨利·詹姆斯的《螺丝在拧紧》和狄更斯的《远大前程》中的疯狂和鬼魂进行了分析，并特别提到了童年的表现。此外，这部分还包括两个被翻译成日语的维多利亚时代鬼故事：约瑟夫·谢里丹·勒法努的《安吉尔街骚乱记》（1853年）和玛丽·伊丽莎白·布莱登的《在克莱顿修道院》（1871年）。
