Under the influence of her father, William Godwin, a political philosopher, and her husband, the radical Romantic poet, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Mary was consistently concerned with political matters during her life. While she was researching and writing the novel, there were revolutionary uprisings on the Continent against the Vienna system established after the failure of the French Revolution. By understanding the context of the composition of Valperga, we can more clearly see how Mary's criticism of reactionary forces in the early nineteenth century was formed, and how her political philosophy was shaped.  The protagonist of Valperga, Castruccio, was an actual figure of medieval Italy, the lord of Lucca who had been generally considered a hero in England. Through the reassessment of the background of his career as a successful military leader, however, Mary transforms him from a prince to a tyrant, the very reverse of a hero. By so doing, she presents her own moral standards in the masculine world of power politics. This paper reexamines Mary's view of the contemporary social system, and explores Mary Shelley's political and ethical philosophy, as incorporated in the creation of an antihero., 論文}, pages = {51--75}, title = {ValpergaにおけるMary Shelleyの哲学的社会思想 : 歴史的英雄Castruccioの再評価の視点から}, volume = {45}, year = {2010}, yomi = {スズキ, リナ} }
