Broomhall, Susan, and David G. Barrie. 'Changing of the Guard: Governance, Policing, Masculinity, and Class in the Porteous Affair and Walter Scott's Heart of Midlothian', Parergon, 28 (2011), 65-90. Argues that, in contrast to eighteenth-century portrayals of the case, Scott's treatment of the Porteous Riots of Edinburgh (1736) in The Heart of Mid-Lothian was significant in bringing to prominence a paradigm in which working-class men could contribute to civic management through policing, so long as they embraced long-held notions of masculine control held by both the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century urban elite. Buchanan, David. 'Popular Reception by Dramatic Adaptation: The Case of Walter Scott's The Heart of Mid-lothian', European Romantic Review, 22 (2011), 745-63. Downmarket dissemination of the Waverley Novels in nineteenth-century Britain is usually considered in terms of collected editions, but adaptations for print and stage played an important role in placing Scott's fiction at the centre of contemporary social tensions. Melodramatic versions of The Heart of Mid-Lothian (1818) performed in London provide the basis for a case study describing the participation of venue, performance, and audience in successful production and reception. The involvement of commerce and politics, print and theatre, upmarket and working-class audiences indicates the importance of Scott adaptations in the study of the Waverley Novels, Romanticism, popular culture, and national identity and group formation in the 19th century.

'La Jolie Fille de Perth de Bizet ou comment trahir et honorer Walter Scott', Revue LISA/LISA E-Journal, 9.2 (2011), 144-63 <http://lisa.revues.org/4408> [accessed 30 July 2012] French language article on Bizet’s Jolie Fille de Perth (1867), an operatic adaptation of The Fair Maid of Perth. Argues that, despite the extreme freedom of the libretto by Jules Adenis and Vernoy de Saint-Georges, the work pays indirect homage to Scott by rewriting scenes or situations drawn from his novel. In spite of borrowing freely from French grand opera and opéra-comique, Bizet attempts to find his own musical expression. His opera reflects aspects of Second Empire French society and the roles it assigned to women, thus pre-empting his revolutionary Carmen. Daly, Suzanne. 'Plunder as Property: Diamonds', in The Empire Inside: Indian Commodities in Victorian Domestic Novels (Ann Arbor, MI: University of Michigan Press, 2011), pp. 61-83.

Fetzer, Margret. 'Beyond the Textual Line: Walter Scott’s Postponing and Post-Scripting of "Authentic" Scottishness', Moving Worlds, 11.2 (2011), 86-90.
Fetzer, Margret. 'The Paradox of Scot(t)land: Authorship, Anonymity and Autobiography in Scott’s Redgauntlet', Zeitschrift für Anglistik und Amerikanistik, 59 (2011): 227-46. Discusses autobiographical documents by Scott which consider physical illness and anonymity not as handicaps but as empowering to his writing. Goes on to analyse Redgauntlet which is autobiographical precisely in that it echoes these correlations of illness, incognito and authorship. Especially through his indebtedness to Scottish legends and (anonymous) oral performance, the case of Walter Scott encourages us to imagine alternative models of authorship which simultaneously undermine and supplement Roland Barthes’ manifesto of 'The Death of the Author'. Fischer, Norman Arthur. 'The Modern Meaning of Georg Lukács' Reconstruction of Walter Scott's Novels of Premodern Political Ethics', in Georg Lukács Reconsidered: Critical Essays in Politics, Philosophy and Aesthetics, ed.

'Lion Hunting in Scotland', in Freud's Couch, Scott's Buttocks, Brontë's Grave (Chicago: Chicago University Press, 2011) Pagination unknown; on the Scott country. Gosta, Tamara. 'Sir Walter's Palimpsests: Material Imprints and the Trace of the Past', European Romantic Review, 22 (2011), 707-26. For Scott, the palimpsest becomes a formal structuring principle through his use of multiple narrators to relate historical events. His narratives rely on complex editorial apparati and the use of paratexts – fictional footnotes, documentary evidence, proems and epigraphs. These unveil both his hyper-reflexive attittude towards the ability to fully represent the past, which is essentially beyond reference, and his critical engagement with historical documents and memories. Focussing on Old Mortality and Redgauntlet, this essay argues that the palimpsestic form of Scott's narrative founds and obscures Scotland's national origin. Gottlieb, Evan. '"Almost the Same as Being Innocent": Celebrated Murderesses and National Narratives in Scott’s The Heart of Mid-Lothian and Atwood’s Alias Grace', in Scottish Literature and Postcolonial Literature: Comparative Texts and Critical Perspectives, ed. Michael Gardiner, Graeme Macdonald, and Niall O’Gallagher (Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 2011), pp. 30-42. Graefe, Melinda. 'Negotiations of Nostalgia: Strangeness and Xenodochy in Walter Scott's Ivanhoe', postmedieval, 2 (2011), 186-200. Ivanhoe is on one level a novel about the futility of nostalgia, and is critical of characters who attempt to live in the past. At the same time, it evokes a powerful longing for 'Olden Times' through its representations of the medieval home. This article argues that the reflective-nostalgic figures of hospitality and home are used by Scott to engage his readers emotionally with the strange and with the idea of the stranger. Hamnett, Brian. 'Scottish Flowering: Turbulence or Enlightenment', in The Historical Novel in Nineteenth-Century Europe: Representations of Reality in History & Fiction (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2011), pp. 71-99.

Kelly, Stuart. 'Plot, Narrative and Artifice: Walter Scott to Thomas Pynchon via RLS', Journal of Stevenson Studies, 8 (2011), 31-48. Includes a discussion of Scott's influence on Robert Louis Stevenson. Lascoux, Liliane. 'La Donna del Lago de Rossini: première entrée en scène de Walter Scott dans l’opéra italien', Revue LISA/LISA E-Journal, 9.2 (2011), 118-30 <http://lisa.revues.org/4483> [accessed 30 July 2012] French-language article on Rossini's La Donna Del Lago (1819), an operatic adaptation of The Lady of the Lake. Analyses how Rossini's librettist Andrea Leone Tottola simplifies and rewrites Scott's text, modifying characters and highlighting the poem’s love interest. However unfaithful the libretto, however, Rossini's music captures the heroic and legendary spirit of Scott's original with an extended, inventive and attentive orchestration, thus indicating a decisive step in the 'Rossinian Revolution' with the development of a pastoral style, one of the bases of Romantic opera. Levy, Lindsay. 'Scott's Early Love Poems to Williamina Belsches', Scottish Literary Review, 3.2 (2011), 45-53. Discusses Scott's love poems to Williamina Belsches, later Lady Forbes (1776-1810), including 'The Violet' and 'To a Lady'. Lynch, Andrew. 'Nostalgia and Critique: Walter Scott's "Secret Power"', postmedieval, 2 (2011), 201-15. Argues that Scott's medievalist works (including Marmion, The Monastery, The Abbot, The Talisman, The Betrothed, and Ivanhoe) exhibit a ‘reflective nostalgia', which blends creative ‘nostalgic memory’ with ‘critical memory', and which stages the containment of private chivalric enthusiasm within a respect for political and military realities. Nevertheless, Scott's view of historical change as largely effected by military power also refuses to underwrite history as either providential or inherently progressive. His distinctive nostalgia asserts the lost potential of the past as a missing presence in the here and now. Lyons, Paul K. ‘Walter Scott, Father and Grandfather’, in Brighton in Diaries (Stroud: The History Press, 2011), pp. 101-06. On the entries in Scott's Journal recording his visits to Brighton, where one grandchild, John Hugh Lockhart, was taken for his health and where another son, Walter Lockhart-Scott, 3rd Laird of Abbotsford, was born. McCracken-Flesher, Caroline. 'Walter Scott's Romanticism: A Theory of Performance', in The Edinburgh Companion to Scottish Romanticism, ed. Murray Pittock (Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 2011), pp. 139-49.
