Title:	Abe Tomoji, japanese modernist novelist as social critic and humanist, the early years (1925-1936)
Author:	Matsumura, Misako
Description:	Abe Tomoji (1903-1973) was a Japanese novelist who entered the literary field as a modernist. He had a strong background in English literature. This thesis concerns Tomoji's literary activities from 1925 through the late 1930s, in which his literary foundation of modernism, humanism and social criticism was established. The thesis consists of four chapters: an introduction to the man and his works, examination of early works, discussion of his literary theories of the 1930s, and an examination of Fuyu no yado (A Place to Winter), 1936. The appendices include my translation of his debut work, Nichi-Doku taiko kyogi ("The Japan-Germany Athletic Games”), written in 1930, as well as a full chronology of the author's life. The thesis centers on Tomoji's most important novel in the pre-war period, Fuyu no yado, which showcases the fruit of his literary activities until its appearance. It became the foundation upon which his post-war writings of humanistic social criticism arose.
