G. Lewis in 1796, tcn pieces of poetry written by the author are introduced,o f which three are literary ballads: “Durandarte and Belerma" in vol. 1,chap. 2,“The Water-King" in vol. 3,c hap. l, and "Alonzo the Brave and Fair Imogine" in vol. 3,c hap. 2. These imitated literary ballads not only foretell the tragedies which will happen after they are sung and contribute to intensify the Gothic atmosphere in the novel,but also symbolize the fact that the whole body of the novel is constructed by imitating various pre-texts. The purpose of this paper is to clarify that the literary art of imitation is indispensable to the Gothicism of the novel. The discussion in this paper will be presented through the following topics: 1. how the literary ballads are imitated from the original poems and how they contribute to the scene in which they are set; 2. how they were evaluated by the contemporary critics and advertised on the contemporary media; 3. how German pre-texts and the novel are related; 4. how “Alonzo the Brave and Fair Imogine" is parodied by the author himself.}, pages = {43--49}, title = {ゴシシズムと摸倣 : The Monkとバラッド詩}, volume = {1}, year = {2011}, yomi = {ナカシマ, ヒサヨ} }
