This paper examines different attitudes toward the names of characters in his works. For example, some characters place great importance on their names while others keep their distance, even to the point of abandoning them. Still other characters intentionally manipulate their names, search for names or play games with their names. These paper analyses the literary function of people's names in Ōgai's works, noting that one criterium for distinguishing between the author's novels and chronicles is in the different way he treats names. MORI Ōgai also emphasizes the significant role that names play in genealogies, lists and other places where group of names are found. Names are also linked with such rhetorical figures as "fukusen" and "kurinobe". Clearly, the choice of one or more appellations among the several names that people were given before the Meiji Restoration is a key to understanding Ōgai's work. Focusing on several works = SAHASHI Jingorō, Gojingahara no katakiuchi, Sanshō dayu, GYO Genki, Kanzan Jittoku, and SHIBUE Chūsai = I will endeavor to explain the relevance and importance of this neglected dimension of MORI Ōgai's historical literature.}, pages = {41--57}, publisher = {国文学研究資料館}, title = {研究発表 人と名 ―鷗外の歴史小説と史伝における人名について―}, year = {1993}, yomi = {ロズラン, エマニュエル} }
