Border Country

Japanese: ボーダー・カントリー(英語表記)Border Country
Border Country
The border area between England and Scotland in the UK, a vast region stretching 160 km from the Solway Firth in the west to where the River Tweed flows into the North Sea in the east. It is also simply called the Border. Between the 11th and 15th centuries, the two countries repeatedly invaded each other and fought fierce wars. In this region, with its beautiful hills, rivers, lakes, valleys and ruins of churches and castles, tragedies and comedies about battles have been passed down in many ballads and other poems. One of the most famous is W. Scott's "Minute of the Scottish Frontier" (1802-03), which adds his own poems to these oral ballads.

イギリスの,イングランドとスコットランドとの国境地帯,西はソルウェー湾から東はトウィード川が北海に注ぐあたりまでの160kmにおよぶ広大な地域をいう。単に〈ボーダーThe Border〉とも呼ばれる。11世紀から15世紀にかけて,互いに侵略をくり返し,はげしい戦火を交えた。美しい丘や川,湖や谷に廃墟の教会や城がのこるこの地域で,戦いにまつわる悲喜劇が,多くのバラッドや他の詩歌に語りつがれてきた。なかでも,こうした口伝のバラッドに自作詩を加えたW.スコットの《スコットランド辺境の吟遊詩》(1802‐03)は有名である。
