Abstract:	十八世紀是個壯遊的時代。人們因商業、貿易、科學、探險、及殖民而向外旅遊。在眾多旅行者之中，庫克船長最具代表性。十八世紀英國航海家、探險家和製圖師，詹姆斯·庫克船長，被認為是促成大英帝國崛起的英雄人物。英國帝國主義的研究長期以來受到學術界的關注。部分學者審視時代文學作品中隱含的帝國主義，而另一些學者則探討藝術作品傳達的意識形態。然而，先前的研究較少討論文本、圖像與歷史的相互證明。因此，我收錄了庫克的航行相關記錄及受其影響的文本記載，以庫克船長第二次航行為主要內容，著重強調的不僅是英國船員與太平洋當地居民的相遇與掙扎，更探討英國人民身為外來者的矛盾心理。本研究說明視覺和文學記錄如何作為證據證明，太平洋是如何在大英帝國的視角下，提供了「他者」的角色，激發了英國人為「自我」的省思、發展民族自信，塑造身份，並將帝國的醜惡遺留後世。本論文圖像作品多數由威廉·霍奇斯於庫克第二次遠航時繪製；文學層面，以兩部著名作品《科學怪人》和《古舟子詠》作為研究正文，搭配真實的旅行記述，證明庫克為後世留下豐富的遺物。從十八世紀流傳下來，帝國的美好形象由畫家和作家的意識形態建構，而醜惡卻蘊藏其中。作為訊息接收者，觀眾被動地接收中介信息。這項研究的意義在於期望能引導人們重新思考閱讀前人紀錄的過去時，這些經驗是否純粹與客觀，並進行歷史、藝術、及文學的跨學科研究。 The eighteenth century is an era of the Grand Tour. People traveled for various reasons, including business, trade, science, exploration, and colonialism. Among the travelers, Captain Cook is the most representative. As a British navigator, explorer, and cartographer of the eighteenth century, Cook has been regarded as a heroic figure facilitating the rise of the British Empire. Studies of British imperialism in the eighteenth century have gained scholarly attention for a long period. Some scholars have examined how the concept of empire is depicted in literary works in the period, while others have studied ideology interpreted from artworks. However, earlier research did not include much discussion of how literary and visual texts speak to one another. As a result, I included both visual and verbal texts that were recorded in or impacted by Cook’s journeys, particularly his second expedition with an emphasis on the struggles of not only the Pacific locals but the British visitors. This study demonstrates how, from the perspective of the British Empire, the Pacific provides the notion of the “other” that leads the British to reflect on the “self,” develop national confidence, build their identities, and leave a legacy to future generations in a disastrous way. The majority of the artworks chosen in this thesis were painted by William Hodges, Cook’s painter during his second voyage, and the two well-known literary works, Shelley’s Frankenstein and Coleridge’s The Rime of the Ancient Mariner are used as the main texts, along with related travel accounts of that time, to demonstrate how Cook’s legacy has been passed down. Through various ideological influences, the painters portrayed the empire in a positive light, and yet beneath the surface, the empire reveals its own anxiety. As audiences often directly receive mediated information from creators, this interdisciplinary research on history, art, and literature prompts us to reconsider our ways of reading earlier experiences from historical resources.
