抄録

<p>　The author here does not intend to discuss the problem of a literary genre that is called an essay, or that of comparative literature in a narrow sense which does not treat the interpretation of literary works. The aim of the present thesis is to compare in parallel and probe the essence of each work principally through the conception and expression of travel such as seen in the chapters of Of Travel, De La Vanité, and at the same time to consider how Bacon received or interpreted Montaigne’s Essais in writing his Essays. It may be safely said that each writer’s idea of travelling does symbolize his attitude toward life as well as the character of his work. With Bacon the purpose of travel, or his own career is “ in a short time to gather much ” knowledge which is new and correct, while Montaigne travels for travel’s sake, expecting nothing from it and feels the vanity of human existence, The former lacking the latter’s flexibility, ease and freedom both in thought and style, and what is more, misunderstanding or interpreting in another way the original meaning of Essais, it is really not Bacon, as E. Gosse declares, who first introduced the true spirit of Montaigne into England.</p>
