早期的江戶川亂步與夢野久作－以後期的昆恩問題作為線索

江戶川亂步與夢野久作均是出現於日本推理小說黎明期的重要作家，特別是江戶川亂步被視為奠定日本推理小說的基礎，並建立其發展脈絡，是貢獻極大的作家之一。相較於此，夢野久作雖因創作了被譽為「日本偵探小說三大奇書」之一的小說《腦髓地獄（ドグラ・マグラ）》而廣為人知，然而對於他其他的作品可說幾乎尚未有研究。本論文所探討夢野久作的創作〈瓶裝地獄（瓶詰の地獄）〉，是在江戶川亂步發表〈二錢銅貨〉的五年後，換言之是於1928年所發表的作品。〈瓶裝地獄〉被收錄於改造社發行的《探偵小說全集》之中，這意味著該創作被視為是一部推理小說(mystery)，雖只是短篇作品卻獲得了好評。然而至目前為止，在先行研究之中幾乎未見將〈瓶裝地獄〉視為推理小說的研究論述。夢野久作對於這篇作品也曾半開玩笑地表示「都是一些成人童話般的心理描述而已」，也因此與〈瓶裝地獄〉相關的論述，均有將其視為一般文學作品進行論述的傾向。有鑑於此，在本論文之中首先將探討被稱為日本第一篇本格偵探小說的〈二錢銅貨〉，其次進行〈二錢銅貨〉與〈瓶裝地獄〉的對照研究，以分析出〈瓶裝地獄〉之中推理小說的特徵。在此過程中，相信艾勒里・昆恩(Ellery Queen)的後期問題將給予我們很大的契機與啟發。

並列摘要

Edogawa Lampo and Yumeno Kyusaku are writers who played active role in the early period of Japanese detective novel. Especially, Edogawa Lampo built up a firm foundation for the Japanese detective novel, made a great contribution. In the other hand, Yumeno Kyusaku is well known as a writer of ＂Dogra Magra＂ that is called big 3 Japanese detective novel. But his other works must be investigated further. In this paper, I deal with his short novel ＂Bottled Hell＂. This work was published in 1928, that was 5 years after publishing Edogawa Lampo's work＂The Two-Sen Copper Coin＂.Yumeno's work ＂Bottled Hell＂ is printed in ＂the Complete Series of Detective Novels＂ from Kaizosha. It is short story, but is evaluated highly. But it is very few to deal with this work as a mystery novel now. Author Yumeno Kyusaku said as a joke ＂All of this work is full of psychological descriptions like a fairy tale for adult.＂Maybe because of this comment, almost papers deal this work as a general novel to researching. So this paper interpret Edogawa Lampo's work＂The Two-Sen Copper Coin＂ that was called a Japanese first authentic detective novel. And I contrast this interpretation with ＂Bottled Hell＂ for standing out the mystery characteristic of this work. In process of comparison, I believe that the awareness of the issues of Ellery Queen latter period is helpful for thinking.
