Landor, Walter Savage

Japanese: ランドー(英語表記)Landor, Walter Savage
Landor, Walter Savage
Born January 30, 1775, Warwick
Died: September 17, 1864. Florence. English poet. He had a fiery temper, and even after being expelled from Oxford University, he was surrounded by conflicts, so he spent more than 20 years in Italy. In addition to the tragedy Count Julian (1812), he wrote other works, including Hellenics (47), Italics (48), and Heroic Idylls (63), which are collections of pastoral, lyric, and aphoristic poems. His poems are classical in form and theme, and have a clear, orderly style, sometimes with a satirical tone. However, he is best known for his prose works Imaginary Conversations of Literary Men and Statesmen (24-28) and Imaginary Conversations of Greeks and Romans (53). Characters from various eras, from Epicurus to G. Washington, appear to discuss political, social, and literary issues and represent Landor's views, and here too Landor's neat, clear style, well-versed in the classics, shines through.

イギリスの詩人。激しい気性で,オックスフォード大学を放校になったのちも周囲に争いが絶えず,20年余をイタリアで過した。悲劇『ジュリアン伯爵』 Count Julian (1812) のほか,牧歌,抒情詩,警句などを集めた『ギリシア人』 Hellenics (47) ,『ローマ人』 Italics (48) ,『英雄牧歌』 Heroic Idylls (63) などの作品がある。彼の詩は形式と主題を古典に負い,整然とした明晰な文体をもち,ときに風刺的な調子を帯びる。しかし最もよく知られた作品は散文による『想像の対話』 Imaginary Conversations of Literary Men and Statesmen (24~28) ,『想像の対話-ギリシア・ローマ編』 Imaginary Conversations of Greeks and Romans (53) である。エピキュロスから G.ワシントンまで,さまざまな時代の人物が登場して,政治,社会,文学上の問題について語り合い,ランドーの見解を代弁するが,ここでも古典に精通した端正で明快な文体が精彩を放っている。
