@article{oai:dwcla.repo.nii.ac.jp:00001847, author = {甲元, 洋子 and KOMOTO, Yoko}, journal = {Asphodel}, month = {Jul}, note = {application/pdf, AN00000289-20190727-13, This thesis deals with three works by Robert Browning: “Child Roland to the Dark Tower Came” (1853), “Prospice” (1861) and “Epilogue” (1889). These poems are common in their describing strong men. Child Roland wanders in a desolate wasteland through many weird obstructions to die in vain. Though piteous, the stoicism of Roland’s action and mentality is splendid enough to captivate us. Here Browning shows his ideal image of a strong man who strives to attain his self-imposed noble goal, even in a very difficult condition. Soon after the death of his beloved wife, Browning wrote “Prospice,” in which he thinks about his last moments and shows his brave resolution to fight against Death thoroughly as a strong man. At the same time, the poem speaks out the poet’s determination to spend his remnant days fully and lively. He lived up to his resolution. The sense of loss of his wife did not overwhelm him. Before his death, Browning wrote “Epilogue” and summarized his life as one of a strong man. In this poem, his soul, wandering down the streets in broad daylight, demands his friends to cheer him to fight on. Browning was a brilliant, strong man while living and is so in the other world, too., 論文}, pages = {13--34}, title = {ロバート・ブラウニングと強い男}, volume = {54}, year = {2019}, yomi = {コウモト, ヨウコ} }
