Guy Mannering in Edinburgh: the Evidence of the Manuscript Guy Mannering in Edinburgh: The Evidence of the Manuscript By JANE MILLGATE Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/library/article/s5-XXXII/3/238/959530 by guest on 27 September 2021 HE manuscript of Scott's second novel, Guy Mannering, in the Pierpont Morgan Library is quite close in substantive matters to Tthe first edition. It does, however, include a section, just over three of Scott's holograph pages in length, which was omitted from the text as published in 1815. The passage occurs in volume two, pages 116-19, of the manuscript, at a point corresponding to the break between the two para- graphs on page 329 of the second volume of the first edition, just after Mannering has been supplied by Pleydell with introductions to a number of prominent Edinburgh figures, 'some of the first literary characters of Scotland'.1 The names listed are those of David Hume, John Home, Dr. Ferguson, Dr. Black, Lord Kaimes, Mr. Hutton, John Clerk ofEldin, Adam Smith, and Dr. Robertson. The narrator goes on to express regret that 'it is not in our power to give the reader an account of the pleasure and information which he [Mannering] received, in admission to a circle never closed against strangers of sense and information, and which has perhaps at no period been equalled, considering the depth and variety of talent which it embraced and concentrated'.2 In the first edition this is immediately followed by an account of the venison dinner given by Mannering to Pleydell on the following Thursday. But in the manuscript the narrator supplies four fragmentary and unidentified character sketches supposedly derived from Mannering's letters to his friend Mervyn, and only then goes on to the venison dinner. The omitted section opens in the manuscript as a continuation of the paragraph ending in the first edition with 'embraced and concentrated', and reads as follows:3 It is true he kept a journal of these golden days but as it afterwards passd through the hands of Mr Dominie Sampson it is to be feard his indiscreet zeal mutilated Mannerings account of some of diese philosophers whose acute talents were more to be admired than their speculative opinions One or two scraps I have been able to extract from some mutilated letters to Mr Mervyn found in an old cabinet at Mervyn hall Langberthwaite but as the room looked out upon the lake they have sufFerd much from damp & what is very provoking I have not been able to assign to the fragments those names which are necessary to expound and to illustrate them. So that I hesitated for some time whether or not I should insert them in this 1 Guy Mannering; or the astrologer, Edinburgh 1815, ii. 328. 2 Guy Mannering, ii. 329. 3 This transcription follows exactly the text, spelling, and punctuation (including asterisks) of the original.

I found him with his family around him—a house full of boys & girls labouring at an abstracted proposition in mathematics as if he had been in the solitude of the most quiet & secluded cell in our old college. The table at which he sate was coverd with a miscellaneous collection of all sorts—pencils paints and crayons (he draws most beautifully) clay models half finishd or half broken, books letters instruments specimens of mineralogy of all sorts, vials with chemical liquors for experiments, plans of battles ancient and modern, models of new mechanical engines maps and calculations of levels sheets of music printed and written in short an emblematical chaos of literature and science. Over all this miscellany two or three kittens the genii loci apparently gambold not only without rebuke but apparently much to the amusement of the philosopher. His countenance is singularly expressive of sagacity and acuteness. Light eyes deep sunk under a projecting brow and shaded by thick eye lashes emit an uncommon light when he is engaged in discussion. Frank liberal & communicative his extensive information is at the service of every stranger who is introduced and it is so general and miscellaneous that every one must find a subject of entertainment and information. He does not embarass you with the manner I have sometimes remarked in men of genius who expect to be incensed with praise and yet affect to dispise or disavow the tribute when it is offerd. This gentleman seems frankly and with good faith to receive the homage frankly & willingly paid to him and takes without affectation or assumption the conscious feeling of superiority quaesitam meritis—Of his great discovery we have already had a happy illustration in the late naval success—another generation may carry it further—it has the great recommendation that it can serve no nation but our- selves unless British tars & British oaks lose their superiority—I am told there is littleness of mind shown by some naval officers who even go so as to deny ***** (hiatus) * Columbus & the egg—if known before why was it not carried into execution * * * Fragment Second * * * at supper time: for such is the hour when this close imitator of the ancients holds his symposion.

Our enter- tainer was alternately eloquent and jocose but equally original in his mirth as in his philosophy. The Quixotry which has introduced him to prick forth in defence of the batterd standard of Aristotle when deserted by all the world besides is gilded over and renderd respectable by such high feelings of honour and worth that you cannot help respecting & loving the enthusiasm which abstractedly is sufficiently ludicrous. It seems to be the soul of a Knight errant which has by strange transmigration been put in possession of the pineal-gland of a scholiast. 240 Guy Mannering in Edinburgh To amuse me he enterd upon some of his favourite topics—the gradual degeneracy of the human race—the increase of luxury—the general introduction of wheel carriages—(he always rides on horseback you must know) and sundry other consolatory topics—He questiond me closely about sundry tribes in the east which I endeavourd to answer with great caution as I have no ambition to be quoted in a new edition of the Origin of* * * Fragment Third Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/library/article/s5-XXXII/3/238/959530 by guest on 27 September 2021 ** * and possesses in reality that stern and self-relying cast of philosophy which the other rather imitates than attains. A Roma[n] soul despising in the prosecution of his his [sic] literary carreer the imperfections of a feeble frame and the blandish- ments of indolence to which it so readily disposes us. He is generally known as the most chaste clear and luminous historian who has undertaken to guide us through the paths of antiquity but he has also evinced in the cause of his country powers of Satire worthy of Swift or Arbuthnot. He has adopted for the sake of health the severe diet of our Indian Bramins and it may be reasonably from his powers of perseverance and the progress he has already made towards recovery that his life may be long preserved to his country* - - Fragment Fourth * * * Full of anecdote which his acquaintance with the great men who flourishd at the beginning of this reign has afforded him. He has also extensive information respecting the unfortunate war of 1745 and as might be expected from his genius he gives his stories with attention to the striking & picturesque points of the narrative. I saw him shed tears while he commemorated the gallantry high principle and personal worth of some of the unfortunate chiefs against whom he had himself borne arms. He is proud of his family for men of fortune & no fortune have alike family-pride in Scotland and the manner in which his namesake the philosopher spells his namejoind to his preference of port to claret are the only secular opinions on which they differ.

  • THE GUY MANNERING the U.S. Ship Guy Mannering Was Built at New
    THE GUY MANNERING The U.S. ship Guy Mannering was built at New York by William H. Webb, New York, for Robert L. Taylor and Nathaniel W. Merrill's line (called in Liverpool the Black Star Line) of sailing packets between New York and Liverpool, and launched in March 1849. Dimensions: 1,418 tons; 190 ft x 42 ft 6 in x 29 ft 8 in (length x beam x depth of hold); 3 decks (the first three- decked merchant vessel built in the United States); draft load 24 ft. The name Guy Mannering was derived from a romance published by Sir Walter Scott in 1815; Taylor & Merrill had already given names derived from Scott's works to two earlier ships built for them by William H. Webb, the Marmion (1846), and the Ivanhoe (1847). It's inaugural trip from New York to Liverpool was in April/May 1849. Her return voyage saw her sail from Liverpool on May 22nd 1849, arriving in New York on June 28th 1849 with a passenger list of mainly Irish emigrants but a small subset of 58 lead miners and their families from the Allendale area of Northumberland, England, who had been been blacklisted following an industrial dispute. The ship's passenger list from this voyage may be seen at http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/Indexes/PassengerLists/GuyMannering.html Passenger lists for subsequent trips from Liverpool to New York in 1851 and 1854 show the same preponderance of Irish emigrants.

  • The Author of Waverley, with His Various Personas, Is a Highly
    Promoting Saint Ronans Well: Scotts Fiction and Scottish Community in Transition MATSUI Yuko The Author of Waverley, with his various personas, is a highly sociable and com- municative writer, as we observe in the frequent and lively exchanges between the author and his reader or characters in the conclusions of Old Mortality1816 and Redgauntlet1824 , or in the prefaces to The Abbot1820 and The Betrothed1825 , to give only a few examples. Walter Scott himself, after giving up his anonymity, seems to enjoy an intimate author-reader relationship in his prefaces and notes to the Magnum Opus edition. Meanwhile, Scott often adapts and combines more than one historical event or actual person, his sources or originals, in his attempt to recre- ate the life of a particular historical period and give historical sense to it, as books like W. S. Crocketts The Scott Originals1912 eloquently testify, and with the Porteous Riot and Helen Walker in The Heart of Midlothian1818 as one of the most obvious examples. Both of these characteristics often tend to encourage an active interaction between the real and the imagined, or their confluence, within and outwith Scott＇s historical fiction, perhaps most clearly shown in the development of tourism in 19th century Scotland1. In the case of Saint Ronan’s Well1824 [1823], Scotts only novel set in the 19th century, its contemporaneity seems to have allowed that kind of interaction and confluence to take its own vigorous form, sometimes involving an actual commu- nity or other authors of contemporary Scotland. Thus, we would like to examine here the ways in which Scott adapts his sources to explore his usual interest in historical change in this contemporary fiction and how it was received, particularly in terms of its effect on a local community in Scotland and in terms of its inspiration for his fellow authors, and thus reconsider the part played by Scotts fiction in imagining and pro- moting Scotland in several ways, in present and past Scotland.

INTRODUCTION The present work completes a series of fictitious narratives, intended to illustrate the manners of Scotland at three different periods. _Waverley_ embraced the age of our fathers, _Guy Mannering_ that of our own youth, and the _Antiquary_ refers to the last ten years of the eighteenth century. I have, in the two last narratives especially, sought my principal personages in the class of society who are the last to feel the influence of that general polish which assimilates to each other the manners of different nations.

  • Guy Mannering Or the Astrologer Vol. I by Sir Walter Scott
    Guy Mannering Or The Astrologer Vol. I By Sir Walter Scott Guy Mannering or the Astrologer Vol.I by Sir Walter Scott INTRODUCTION The Novel or Romance of Waverley made its way to the public slowly, of course, at first, but afterwards with such accumulating popularity as to encourage the Author to a second attempt. He looked about for a name and a subject; and the manner in which the novels were composed cannot be better illustrated than by reciting the simple narrative on which Guy Mannering was originally founded; but to which, in the progress of the work, the production ceased to bear any, even the most distant resemblance. The tale was originally told me by an old servant of my father's, an excellent old Highlander, without a fault, unless a preference to mountain dew over less potent liquors be accounted one. He believed as firmly in the story as in any part of his creed. A grave and elderly person, according to old John MacKinlay's account, while travelling in the wilder parts of Galloway, was benighted. With difficulty he found his way to a country seat, where, with the hospitality of the time and country, he was readily admitted. The owner of the house, a gentleman of good fortune, was much struck by the reverend appearance of his guest, and apologised to him for a certain degree of confusion which must unavoidably attend his reception, and could not escape his eye. The lady of the house was, he said, confined to her apartment, and on the point of making her husband a father for the first time, though they had been ten years married.

Using the concept of remediation, Chapter 2 focuses on Scott’s procreativity in other media, especially the theatre, in order to explain the apparent paradox that novelistic adaptation was linked both to the desire for new forms of immediacy and to the pleasure of reiteration. After a brief survey of the adaptations of his work to the visual arts and material culture, the chapter turns to dramatizations of the Waverley novels, focusing in particular on the repeated productions of Rob Roy (1817) whose popularity on stage is explained as a way of performing Scottishness ‘live’. The later adaptations of the novel to the screen show how Scott’s novel helped relay popular culture into the twentieth century.

Graeme Tytler "Faith in the Hand of Nature": Physiognomy in Sir Walter Scott's Fiction One aspect of Sir Walter Scott's fiction that has received critical attention down the years is his treatment of physical character description, whereby comments made on that subject in the twentieth century would appear to have been generally more objective, not to say more sober, than some made in the nineteenth century, the early part of which is conspicuous for outright con­ demnations of Scott's uses of this device. l Nevertheless, there were at that time literary critics such as John Adolphus and Edward Channing who not only wrote favorably about Scott's descriptive techniques, but seemed alive to their physiognomic implications, even though neither of them, nor, indeed, any other literary critic of that period, is known to have mentioned or alluded to physiognomic theory.2 It was not until the latter half of the twentieth century that scholars first remarked on references to physiognomy in Scott's fiction, doing so, however, without touching on the historical background against lFor examples of nineteenth·century condemnation of Scott's character description, see especially John O.

  • How Stage Performances from Ivanhoe Brought Scott's Characters to the Widest Audiences
    The Wenshan Review of Literature and Culture．Vol 13.2．June 2020．69-97. DOI: 10.30395/WSR.202006_13(2).0004 “. anything like the words”: how Stage Performances from Ivanhoe Brought Scott’s Characters to the Widest Audiences Barbara Bell ABSTRACT The publication of Ivanhoe and its rapid uptake by the theatres of his day came hard on successful stage adaptations of earlier novels, particularly Guy Mannering and Rob Roy. Amidst the highly structured format of the Georgian theatre industry, divided between the Patent houses, able to perform the spoken word, and the Minor houses, supposedly confined to music, dance, mime and the nebulous burletta, the Scott adaptations were almost uniquely placed to cross class and genre divides as a form of parallel contemporary reception. They were already causing shifts in the theatre industry when Ivanhoe appeared and audiences at a range of venues now had particular expectations of the work of playwrights with this material. This article aims to place adaptations of Ivanhoe within their overall theatrical contexts, to trace their debts one to another, to look at their stage careers beside those of other Scott adaptations and to trace their progress throughout the nineteenth century across different types of venues and genres, from parlour music to hippodrama. KEYWORDS: dramatization, British Theatre, illegitimate theatre, nineteenth-century hippodrama, working-class audiences, Patent Houses, Jewish characters, Sir Walter Scott, Waverley Novels Received: January 20, 2019; Accepted: January 15, 2020 Barbara Bell, an independent researcher, United Kingdom ([email protected]). 70 The Wenshan Review of Literature and Culture．Vol 13.2．June 2020 I.
