에도 시대의 『겐지모노가타리』수용 - 『니세무라사키이나카겐지』를 중심으로 -

Abstract

In the early 19th century literary works were published in full-scale catering to mass readers as new emerging appreciators of literature, especially to women readers. Nisemurasaki Inakagenji is an adapted work from Genji Monogatari made in this background of publication culture. Of the motive of writing Nisemurasaki Inakagenji of Ryutei Tanehiko as a writer many accounts were given generally in this way because he was nothing like as good as Kyokutei Bakin in the knowledge of Chinese literature he took material for writing from Japanese classics. But Tanehiko who had already received a request for writing "Kokuzi Suikoden" too had a profound knowledge of Chinese classics though not as much as Bakin's. It seems that Tanehiko took material for writing a novel not from Chinese classics but from Japanese Genjimonogatari as he recognized many problems in translating Chinese letters to Japanese. Ryutei Tanehiko wanted to make Nisemurasaki Inakagenji a contemporary Edo work by mixing tastes of Joruri and Kabuki with Genji Monogatari in the early stage of writing it. But with the growing tendency of maintaining mood of the original text he showed in the process of writing strong tendency and will of reenacting sentiment of the original text merely not at a level of borrowing the motif of it. It is thought that this made Nisemurasaki Inakagenjii seeking elegant mood of the original itself not like other vulgar translations play a role in shifting the value of Genji Monogatari mistakenly known as an obscene literature among people.
