His biography, The Life of Thomas Hardy, shows how he was raised in a ballad-like atmosphere. Consequently, ballad characteristics pervade much of his work. However, little criticism in the field has been published until now.  This paper is an attempt to fill in the void, focusing on the nine ballads cited in Tess of the d’Urbervilles (1891). A few lines in the novel concern five ballads, while other ballads are mentioned only by name without reference to their content. The stories of these ballads have not been adequately analyzed in any of the available research literature, even though story-telling is an essential element of the ballad. This research shows that all the ballads mentioned in the novel, with one exception, were chosen from those sung by villagers around Dorset where Hardy grew up.  The nine ballads are woven into the plot intentionally and help to mold the characters more completely into their circumstances. Moreover, some of the ballads foreshadow later developments in the story. Although these ballads have been generally disregarded by literary scholars, this paper shows how they play a significant role in the formation of Tess of the d’Urbervilles., 論文}, pages = {94--109}, title = {Tess of the d'Urbervillesの中のバラッド : 全9編の研究}, volume = {45}, year = {2010}, yomi = {コンドウ, カズコ} }
