Bardic nationalism: The Romantic novel and the British Empire

1997-11-01

Katie Trumpener

During the late-18th century, antiquaries in Ireland, Scotland and Wales answered modernization and anliciziation inititatives with nationalist arguments for cultural preservation. Responding in particular to Englightenment dismissals of Gaelic oral traditions, they reconceived national and literary history under the sign of the bard. Their path-breaking models of national and literary history, their new way of reading national landscapes and their debates about tradition and cultural transmission shaped a succession of new novelistic genres, from Gothic and sentimental fiction, to the nationalist tale and the historical novel. In Ireland and Scotland, these genres were used to mount nationalist arguments for cultural specificity and against internal colonization; yet, once exported throughout the Empire, they also formed the basis of the first colonial fiction of Canada, Australia and British India, used not only to attack imperialism, but also to justify the imperial project.

Internal Colonialism: The Celtic Fringe in British National Development, 1536-1966

1978-02-01

H. J. Hanham , Michael Hechter

Recent years have seen a resurgence of separatist sentiments among national minorities in many industrial societies, including the United Kingdom. In 1997, the Scottish and Welsh both set up their … Recent years have seen a resurgence of separatist sentiments among national minorities in many industrial societies, including the United Kingdom. In 1997, the Scottish and Welsh both set up their own parliamentary bodies, while the tragic events in Northern Ireland continued to be a reminder of the Irish problem. These phenomena call into question widely accepted social theories which assume that ethnic attachments in a society will wane as industrialization proceeds. This book presents the social basis of ethnic identity, and examines changes in the strength of ethnic solidarity in the United Kingdom during the 19th and 20th centuries. As well as being a case study, the work also has implications, as it suggests that the colonialism of the kind experienced in the British Isles has its analogues in the histories of other industrial societies. Hechter examines the unexpected persistence of ethnicity in the politics of industrial societies by focusing on the British Isles. Why do many of the inhabitants of Wales, Scotland and Ireland continue to maintain an ethnic identity opposed to England? Hechter explains the salience of ethnic identity by analyzing the relationships between England, the national core, and its periphery, the Celtic fringe, in the context of two alternative models of core-periphery relations in the industrial setting. The diffusion model suggests that intergroup contact leads to ethnic homogenization, and the internal model, suggests such contact heightens distinctive ethnic identification. His findings lend support to the colonial model, and show that, although industrialization did contribute to a decline in interregional linguistic differences, it resulted neither in the cultural assimilation of Celtic lands, nor the development of regional economic equality. The study concludes that ethnic solidarity will inevitably emerge among groups which are relegated to inferior positions in a cultural division of labour.

Writing women in Jacobean England

1993-05-01

Barbara Kiefer Lewalski

When was feminism born - in the 1960s or in the 1660s? For England, one might answer: the early decades of the 17th century. James I was King of England, … When was feminism born - in the 1960s or in the 1660s? For England, one might answer: the early decades of the 17th century. James I was King of England, and women were expected to be chaste, obedient, subordinate, and silent. Some, however, were not, and these are the women who interest Barbara Lewalski - those who, as queens and petitioners, patrons and historians and poets, took up the pen to challenge and subvert the repressive patriarchal ideology of Jacobean England. Setting out to show how these women wrote themselves into their culture, Lewalski rewrites Renaissance history to include some of its most compelling - and neglected - voices. As a culture dominated by a powerful Queen gave way to the rule of a partiarchal ideologue, a woman's subjection to father and husband came to symbolize the subjection of all English people to their monarch, and of all Christians to God. Remarkably enough, it is in this repressive Jacobean milieu that we first hear Englishwomen's own voices in some number, Elizabeth Cary, Aemilia Lanyer, Rachel Speght, and Mary Wroth published original poems, dramas, and prose of considerable scope and merit; others inscribed their thoughts and experiences in letters and memoirs. Queen Anne used the court masque to assert her place in palace politics, while Princess Elizabeth herself stood as a symbol of resistance to Jacobean patriarchy. By looking at these women through their works, Lewalski documents the flourishing of a sense of feminine identity and expression in spite of - or perhaps because of - the constraints of the time. The result is a fascinating sampling of Jacobean women's lives and works, restored to their rightful place in literary history and cultural politics. In these women's voices and perspectives, Lewalski identifies an early challenge to the dominant culture - and an ongoing challenge to our understanding of the Renaissance world.

Britishness and Otherness: An Argument

Linda Colley

Hobsbawm, Nations and Nationalism since 1780 (Cambridge, … There is no more effective way of bonding together the disparate sections of restless peoples than to unite them against outsiders. [E. J. Hobsbawm, Nations and Nationalism since 1780 (Cambridge, 1990), p. 91] Britain is an invented nation, not so much older than the United States. [Peter Scott, Knowledge and Nation (Edinburgh, 1990), p. 168] The morning of Saturday, September 14, 1793, was bitterly cold, and George Macartney, Viscount Macartney of Dervock in the county of Antrim, had been up since four o'clock, making final preparations for his audience with the emperor of China at his summer palace at Jehol, just north of the Great Wall. He stood waiting in the large, silken tent for over an hour before Ch'ien-lung eventually arrived, “seated in an open palanquin, carried by sixteen bearers, attended by numbers of officers bearing flags, standards, and umbrellas.” To the fury of the watching Chinese courtiers who had wanted him to execute the full kowtow (three separate kneelings and nine knockings of the head on the floor), Macartney went down on one knee only and presented the emperor with a letter from George III in a gold casket covered with diamonds. He followed this with other gifts—pottery, the best that Josiah Wedgwood's factory in Staffordshire could produce, a diving bell patented by the Anglo-Scottish engineer John Smeaton, sword blades from Birmingham, an orrery, a telescope, and some clocks.

Introduction: Inventing Traditions

2012-03-26

Eric Hobsbawm

Yet, as a chapter in this book establishes, … Nothing appears more ancient, and linked to an immemorial past, than the pageantry which surrounds British monarchy in its public ceremonial manifestations. Yet, as a chapter in this book establishes, in its modern form it is the product of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. ‘Traditions’ which appear or claim to be old are often quite recent in origin and sometimes invented. Anyone familiar with the colleges of ancient British universities will be able to think of the institution of such ‘traditions’ on a local scale, though some – like the annual Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols in the chapel of King's College, Cambridge on Christmas Eve – may become generalized through the modern mass medium of radio. This observation formed the starting-point of a conference organized by the historical journal Past & Present, which in turn forms the basis of the present book.

Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine

Tom Toremans , Ernest De Clerck

A closer look at the October 1817 issue aptly illustrates both the innovation of the format and the strategies Blackwood's employed to posit itself in the market. Although Blackwood's assumed a more moderate and less provocative tone in the years following its relaunch, it continued to explore and innovate the medium of the literary magazine. The relative neglect of translation in the study of Blackwood's is part of a similar neglect of the broader transnational context of British Romanticism, and more particularly its interaction with other cultures and national traditions. Blackwood's translations from Greek and Latin, for example, place the magazine in "a gentlemanly translating culture, for which the Latin classics were the essential training ground".

It is an indispensable, exploration of political art and aestheticized politics...a classic. (Stephen Greenblatt, University of California, Berkeley). A triumph of scholarship, insight, and explication, Oregel's book is truly a classic in the field of Renaissance studies. Anyone interested in Renaissance culture will find here a masterful analysis of its celebration of royal power. (Coppelia Kahn, Brown University). As knowing of art, theatrical and political history as it is sensitive to poetry, Orgel's book is learned, lively, and beautifully clear. (John Hollander, Yale University). A foundational text for the New Historicist Perspective in English Renaissance literary and cultural studies...as informative and suggestive as it was when new; in the clarity and grace of its writing, the breadth and precision of its arguments, the aptness and resonance of its examples, it is unsurpassed as an introduction to the dialectic of theatrical illusion and state authority - of play and power - in the culture of Elizabethan and Stuart England. (Louis Montrose, University of California, San Diego).

In this work, first published in 1957, A.B.Emden aimed to make his biographical notices more detailed than those of Foster, and took the opportunity to include facts concerning the lives of a large number of men who represented an influential section of medieval society. The work includes more than 12,000 entries arranged alphabetically as well as a great deal of manuscript material. The author consulted the computus rolls and other appropriate records of University, Merton, Oriel, Queen's, New College, Winchester College and All Souls, all relevant material in the University archives, and 100 Episcopal Registers. All the variant spellings of each surname are included, and where possible particulars of date of birth, place of origin and parentage. The volume also contains records of licences to study, particulars of membership of colleges and halls, details of any college offices held, courses of study and degrees, University offices held, particulars of ordinations and licences to preach, all benefices obtained, particulars of ecclesiastical and secular offices held and other information concerning careers after leaving the University.

The Jacobite Groundwork of James Steuart’s Political Economy

This article shows how the … In the late 1740s and the 1750s the Jacobite exile James Steuart began to compose the work that became his Principles of Political Oeconomy . This article shows how the political principles of this work were shaped in two contexts neglected by earlier scholars: the networks that shaped Steuart’s formation as a Jacobite, and the debates about absolute monarchy that he encountered in France early during his exile starting in 1746. It demonstrates that Steuart’s vision of an economically active, interventionist state chiefly developed not from German debates about administration, as is often assumed, but from long-running Scottish currents of opposition to British government policy and radical French ideas about how monarchical reform can secure equal rights for all. This article thus uncovers the Jacobite and French origins of Steuart’s variety of interventionism, which troubled Adam Smith, inspired French revolutionaries, and influenced Hegel, Marx, and the broader history of political economy.

England’s Erastus? Or, James Morice and the Law of Excommunication

Abstract The Elizabethan reign has lately emerged as a formative period for English ideas about the liberties of the subject and the ‘ancient constitution’ of the realm. Recent work has … Abstract The Elizabethan reign has lately emerged as a formative period for English ideas about the liberties of the subject and the ‘ancient constitution’ of the realm. Recent work has described the development of such ideas as having been driven by an organized campaign against the English ecclesiastical courts: a legal and intellectual effort that had emerged from the misgivings of certain ‘puritan’ lawyers about the powers claimed by new prerogative jurisdictions. The primary grievance of the campaign has been identified as having been the church courts’ use of the oath ex officio , and the campaign’s primary defensive tool has been identified as having been the twenty-ninth chapter of Magna Carta. But overlooked manuscripts reveal a more complex story. This article shows that the law of excommunication was as important to the campaign in question as Magna Carta. In addition, a re-examination of the life and work of James Morice, one of the principal lawyers responsible for the campaign, demonstrates that the law of excommunication deeply structured his understanding of the royal supremacy, and of the legal relationship between England’s secular and ecclesiastical polities – particularly as they had existed in the distant medieval past.

Reconsidering a source of Sir David Lyndsay's The Monarche and its significance in the early Scottish apocalyptic tradition

2025-05-28

Juan Manuel Castro Carracedo | Acta Neophilologica

Among … Parallel to the distinctive character of Reformation in Scotland, the Protestant apocalyptic tradition in this country showed an original, nationalist-oriented style, defining itself against both English and French tendencies. Among the first texts to ground these differences was Sir David Lyndsay’s Dialog betuix Experience and ane Courteour off the Miserabyll Estait of the Warld, commonly known as The Monarche (1552). Following the main themes of medieval eschatology, The Monarche incorporates key elements that will be characteristic of Protestant apocalypticism in Scotland and shows the influence of Carion’s Chronicle, one of the most significant millenarian treatises in the Renaissance. This article analyzes the apocalyptic dimension of The Monarche and pays special attention to the particular circumstances sorrounding Lyndsay’s reception of Carion’s Chronicle. By examining the connections between this poet and certain Scottish exiles in Eastern Europe, we aim to shed new light on the introduction of apocalyptic thought in Scotland and revise the traditionally accepted relationship between this text and similar treatises, such as The Complaynt of Scotlande or John Knox’s earliest writings.

The Cotton Famine and the Decline of the Scottish Cotton Industry

The article analyses the wills and inventories of … This article argues that the Scottish industry recovered fairly quickly from the cotton famine but declined steeply in the late nineteenth century. The article analyses the wills and inventories of fifty Scottish cotton masters and sixty-one Glasgow West India merchants from 1783 to 1912—a total sample of 111. From the 1830s, Scottish cotton masters diversified their portfolios into iron and steel manufacturing, engineering, railways, chemicals, and shipping. Wills and inventories need to be supplemented by contemporary analysis, such as the posthumous memoirs of Archibald Alison, Margaret Irwin, and the Women’s Industries in Scotland, or contemporary biographies. Recent research by Sven Beckert, Maxine Berg, Pat Hudson and Giorgio Riello has emphasized globalization, increasing trading and financial links between Liverpool and New Orleans, and growing regional variations between Scotland and Lancashire. The decline of the Scottish cotton industry was rooted in cultural norms, social expectations, and religious behaviour, plus investment in more profitable industries developing in the west of Scotland.

It argues that the widely reported return of Sir Robert Peel at the University of Glasgow in 1836 underlined the partisan political potential of the elections and established many of the features of the subsequent elections at Glasgow and elsewhere. After mid-century, such political contests – often fierce and bipartisan – were increasingly normal following the Universities (Scotland) Act 1858, and the article examines how rectorial contests functioned to offer parliamentarians and their supporters a range of opportunities. Finally, the article engages in a closer examination of two rectorial contests towards the end of the period to indicate how far these had become sites of professionalization and training grounds for aspiring politicians by the early twentieth century.
