Articles and Chapters on Sir Walter Scott Published in 2008

An Annotated Bibliography

Alloway, Ross. 'Cadell and the Crash', Book History, 11 (2008), 126-47.

Argues that our understanding of the collapse of Scott’s publishers, Archibald Constable and Co. (see Financial Hardship) has been distorted by misapprehension of the role of Robert Cadell, the firm’s chief financial officer. Often portrayed as a scheming businessman who led a great writer and publisher to their downfall, Cadell’s business acumen in fact single-handedly delayed disaster for far longer than would have been possible without his aid and very nearly saved Scott.

Bernauer, Markus. 'Historical Novel and Historical Romance', in Romantic Prose Fiction, ed. Gerald Gillespie, Manfred Engel, and Bernard Dieterle (Amsterdam: Benjamins, 2008), pp. 296-324.

Includes discussions of 'Scott's Pivotal Contribution to the Discourse on History in Literature' (pp. 296-99) and 'Historicizing the Romance of Old and New Worlds' (on Waverley and Ivanhoe, pp. 305-10, 316-18).

Bernhart, Walter. '"Liebling der ganzen Welt": Sir Walter Scott als Inspiration für die romantische Oper und Donizettis Lucia di Lammermoor', in Gaetano Donizetti: Lucia di Lammermoor: Programmheft Theater Graz (Graz: Theater Graz, 2008), pp. 6-18.

German-language essay charting Scott's influence on Romantic opera and, in particular, on Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor (based on Scott's The Bride of Lammermoor).

Block, Daniel Robert. 'Feeling for Barbarity: The Ironic Minstrelsy of Walter Scott's Waverley', in Engaged Romanticism: Romanticism as Praxis, ed. Mark Lussier and Bruce Matsunaga (Newcastle upon Tyne: Cambridge Scholars, 2008), pp. 41-57.

Brown, Marshall. 'Poetry and the Novel', in The Cambridge Companion to Fiction in the Romantic Period, ed. Richard Maxwell and Katie Trumpener (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2008), pp. 107-28.

Challenges (pp. 116-23) the critical orthodoxy that Scott turned to prose to accommodate multiple viewpoints impossible in poetry. Notes that the poems in his novels are associated with the primitive past, popular present, or voice of individual feeling, charting the limits of the knowable and sharing a quality of impalpable transcendence. Poetry does not find its fulfillment in prose complexity; rather, prose finds its fulfillment in poetic intensity.¹

Burley, Stephen. 'Hazlitt’s Preface to Political Essays and Walter Scott’s Old Mortality', Notes and Queries, 55 (2008), 437-39.

Notes that Hazlitt’s opening sentence in the preface to Political Essays (1819) echoes Major Bellenden’s statement at the siege of Tillietudlem Castle in Old Mortality: 'I am no politician.' Charts the wider political context of the allusion, exploring the relationship between the two authors and the nature of Hazlitt's opposition to Scott.

Costantini, Cristina. 'The Jews and the Common Law: A Question of Traditions and Jurisdictions: An Analysis through W. Scott's Ivanhoe', Textus, 21 (2008), 467-86.

Duncan, Ian. 'Scotland and the Novel', in The Cambridge Companion to Fiction in the Romantic Period, ed. Richard Maxwell and Katie Trumpener (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2008), pp. 251-64.

Argues that Scott's massive success encouraged rather than deterred the production of alternative forms of Scottish fiction. The experimental richness of Scott's novels opened up the literary field, provoking further innovations. In particular, the Blackwoodian group of James Hogg, John Galt, John Wilson, and J. G. Lockhart drew on Tales of My Landlord to create the 'regional tale', making regional identity (the traditions of their respective districts) the foundation for their own claims on originality.

An essay accompanying a digital reprint of an early twentieth-century translation of Waverley by Francisco Gutiérrez-Brito and Isidoro López Lapuya, which provides a) a brief overview of Scott's Spanish reception, b) a translation history of Waverley, and c) an analysis of the Gutiérrez-Brito/López Lapuya translation on three levels: pretextual, macrostructural and microstructural.

Garside, Peter. 'The Baron’s Books: Scott’s Waverley as a Bibliomaniacal Romance', Romanticism, 14 (2008), 245-58.

Explores the genesis of Waverley through a close study of Scott’s book-buying, marginalia, and collecting practices, and discusses these in the context both of existing collections in Abbotsford Library and early nineteenth-century ‘bibliomania’. Also considers the possible influence of Richard Cumberland's 1809 novel John de Lancaster on Waverley, particularly in the characterization of Baron Bradwardine.

Reads Scott and Burns as complicit in the authoring of a national mythology, albeit in different ways. Where Burns represents the interiorisation of Scotland (the peasant cotter of Lockhart's biography), Scott is responsible for its exteriorisation (his stage-management of George IV’s Edinburgh visit in 1822). They should not, however, be understood as static opposing monoliths but as symbolic representations of a dynamic process of cultural negotiation in Scottish literature.

Lurz, John. 'Pro-Visional Reading: Seeing Walter Scott’s The Heart of Mid-Lothian', LIT: Literature Interpretation Theory, 19 (2008), 248–67.

Calls attention to the ways in which the reader is invited to think about seeing in The Heart of Mid-Lothian. Suggests that by claiming a kind of force for visual communication, the novel attempts to broaden the very idea of communicative power.

Maxwell, Richard. 'The Historical Novel', in The Cambridge Companion to Fiction in the Romantic Period, ed. Richard Maxwell and Katie Trumpener (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2008), pp. 65-88.

Presents Scott (pp. 75-78) as a great synthesizer as well as a great innovator, combining Enlightenment historiography, the 'particular history' of his French predecessors Lafayette and Prévost, the antiquarian fiction of Walpole, and the large-scale panoramic history of the Porter sisters. His novels create by stages a version of history linked to geography, chronology, and transmission via an author or chain of authors. Goes on to consider Scott's influence on Hogg, Peacock, Marryat, and Bulwer-Lytton.

Maxwell, Richard. 'The Historiography of Fiction in the Romantic Period', in The Cambridge Companion to Fiction in the Romantic Period, ed. Richard Maxwell and Katie Trumpener (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2008), pp. 7-21.

Describes how the 'Magnum Opus' edition of the Waverley Novels created a blueprint -- economic yet with an aura of scholarly definitiveness and artistic authority -- for Bentley's Standard Novels. Together they did much to make fiction affordable and provide an alternative to the circulating library. Goes on to discuss posthumous editions of Scott and his waning popularity in the early 20th century.

Morel, Michel. 'Les Enjeux ekphrastiques de la montagne à l'époque romantique', Anglophonia, 23 (2008), 63-70.

Newman, Andrew. ‘Sublime Translation in the Novels of James Fenimore Cooper and Walter Scott’, Nineteenth-Century Literature Criticism, 203 (2008).

Pagination unknown. Argues that Cooper's motif of 'sublime translation', whereby scenes of communication between Anglo-Americans and native Americans are set in sublime locations and, typically, interrupted by animals, is borrowed from Waverley. This article was previously published in Nineteenth-Century Literature, 59 (2004).

Oliver, Susan. 'Crossing "dark barriers": Intertextuality and Dialogue between Lord Byron and Sir Walter Scott', Studies in Romanticism, 47.1 (2008), 15-35.

Examines intertextual references as a form of conscious poetic dialogue between Byron and Scott. Amongst the figurations considered are the return to Britain and laundering of outlaw 'otherness' in Scott's Rokeby (1813), and the perplexing, secretive 'strangeness' of the communications between Europe and the East in Lara (1814). A consideration of Byron's juxtaposition of Hebridean and Polynesian motifs in The Island leads into a concluding look at Byron's exclamation of Scottishness in Don Juan, canto 10 (1823).

Phillips, Helen. 'Scott and the Outlaws', in Bandit Territories: British Outlaws and their Traditions, ed. Helen Phillips (Cardiff: University of Wales Press, 2008), pp. 119-42.

Pittock, Murray. 'Scott and the European Nationalities Question', in Scottish and Irish Romanticism (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2008), pp. 187-210.

Notes the paradox whereby Scott in the act of relegating romance to the past was creating it in the present, placing the essence of his creative ends at odds with the teleology of his creating means. Scott presented the spectacle of a literature of combat repressed by the very historiography used to display it, but, once the historiography was removed from a British context, his European readers saw in him the most intensely political Anglophone writer of his age.

Purdie, David W. 'The Burns-Scott Meeting at Sciennes Hill House', Book of the Old Edinburgh Club, New Ser., 7 (2008), 167-70.

Simpson, David. '"Which is the merchant here? and which the Jew?": Friends and Enemies in Walter Scott's Crusader Novels', Studies in Romanticism, 47 (2008), 437-52.

Explores the portrayal of other races and religions, and tolerance or intolerance towards 'the other', in Ivanhoe, The Talisman, and The Betrothed. Interprets Ivanhoe as a rewriting of The Merchant of Venice and reads the Crusader novels as a plea for open-mindedness which is repeatedly frustrated. Ultimately, the novels are powerful portrayals of the refusal of hospitality and the tragic consequences of that refusal.

Discusses Scott's centrality to the interaction between the genres of romance, melodrama, and opera in the early nineteenth century, with particular reference to Carl Otto Nicolai's Il templario, an operatic adaptation of Ivanhoe. Identifies those elements in Scott's work which proved most attractive to melodramatists, and analyses why an early nineteenth-century audience saw the Rebecca-Bois Guilbert sub-plot as the dramatic centre of I.
