Ann Radcliffe

Japanese: アン・ラドクリフ - あんらどくりふ
Ann Radcliffe

In particular, many of the so-called "Gothic Romances," which became very popular in England from the middle of this century, have the characteristics of the historical novel mentioned above, if not completely, then to a large extent. However, in these works, the author's imagination is too free and historical fact is overshadowed, so that it is difficult to call them historical novels, with the exception of Mrs. Ann Radcliffe's "Gaston de Blondeville" (published in 1826 after the author's death, but written around 1802). The Scottish literary master W. Scott, who inherited the romantic elements from the Gothic Romance, can be said to have perfected the historical novel in the true sense of the word, both in quantity and quality.

Japanese:

…とくに,この世紀半ばからイギリスで大流行をみた,いわゆる〈ゴシック・ロマンス〉のかなり多くのものは,前述した歴史小説の特徴を,完全にとはいわぬまでも,かなりの程度までそなえている。しかし,ここでは作者の想像力の働きがあまりにも自由すぎて,歴史的事実が影のうすいものとされているので,アン・ラドクリフ夫人の《ガストン・ド・ブロンドビル》(出版は作者死後の1826年だが,執筆は1802年ころ)を例外として,歴史小説とは呼びにくい。 ゴシック・ロマンスからそのロマンス的要素を受け継いだスコットランドの文豪W.スコットこそ,量質ともに真の意味での歴史小説の大成者といえよう。…
