Novelist. Real name: Tamezo. Born in Akita Prefecture. He started out by writing satirical novels, then moved on to Kenyusha-style novels, but he attracted attention by publishing works incorporating Zola's method of emphasizing heredity and environment, such as "Hatsu Sugata" in 1900 (Meiji 33) and "Hayari Uta" the year after, and became a representative writer of early naturalism. He later published "Kobushi" (1906-08), "Chojaboshi" (1908-09), and "Yoritomo of Izu" (1911-12), which deepened his Zolaism, but the public's reputation was higher for his popular novel "Makaze Koikaze" (1903), so he gradually began to write popular works such as "Ginteki" (1914). From around 1932 (Showa 7), he fell into a state of silence due to frequent illness, but after the Second World War he took up his pen again and published works such as "Kudan Soushi" (1947). In 1948 (Showa 23), he became a member of the Japan Art Academy.

小説家。本名為蔵。秋田県生まれ。初め風刺小説を書き、ついで硯友社(けんゆうしゃ)風の小説に移っていったが、1900年(明治33)『はつ姿』、翌々年『はやり唄(うた)』など、遺伝と環境を重視したゾラの方法を取り入れた作品を発表して注目され、前期自然主義の代表的作家となった。その後さらに『コブシ』(1906~08)、『長者星』(1908~09)、『伊豆の頼朝(よりとも)』(1911~12)を発表しゾライズムの深化をみせたが、世間の評判は通俗的小説『魔風恋風(まかぜこいかぜ)』(1903)のほうが高く、そのためしだいに『銀笛(ぎんてき)』(1914)などの通俗作品を書くようになった。32年(昭和7)ごろから病気がちで沈黙したが、第二次世界大戦後ふたたび筆をとり『くだん草紙』(1947)などを発表した。48年(昭和23)に芸術院会員となった。 [畑 実] 『『明治文学全集65 小杉天外他集』(1968・筑摩書房)』 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
