초록
Yokosuka Kitsuen’s "Kyūshini Issho Robinson Monogatari" is one of the translated versions of Robinson Crusoe published in the satirical comic magazine 〈Kibi Dango〉, a periodical supported by those involved in the Freedom and People’s Rights Movement during 1879–1880. Although it was the only Robinson Crusoe translation in modern Japan to be serialized over an extended period in a magazine, it has not received adequate scholarly attention. This article therefore undertakes a textual analysis of the work and examines, among other matters, its connection with the Freedom and People’s Rights Movement. In 1879, 〈Kibi Dango〉 was banned on the grounds that it serialized sensational humorous fiction. To avoid official pressure, "Kyūshini Issho Robinson Monogatari" appeared as an eclectic reading that embedded a modern Western novel within an early modern Japanese framework, thereby maintaining distance from both satire and the Movement. A translator, illustrator, and publisher trained in English studies and well acquainted with Western affairs enabled the early serialization of Robinson Crusoe. However, the work appears not to have achieved popularity; illustrations ceased in the latter half, and the series remained unfinished. Thereafter, Robinson Crusoe translations that gained wide circulation were, with the exception of abridged synopses, not serialized in magazines that were sensitive to current trends.
