  • Sir Walter Scott's Templar Construct
    Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. SIR WALTER SCOTT’S TEMPLAR CONSTRUCT – A STUDY OF CONTEMPORARY INFLUENCES ON HISTORICAL PERCEPTIONS. A THESIS PRESENTED IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY AT MASSEY UNIVERSITY, EXTRAMURAL, NEW ZEALAND. JANE HELEN WOODGER 2017 1 ABSTRACT Sir Walter Scott was a writer of historical fiction, but how accurate are his portrayals? The novels Ivanhoe and Talisman both feature Templars as the antagonists. Scott’s works display he had a fundamental knowledge of the Order and their fall. However, the novels are fiction, and the accuracy of some of the author’s depictions are questionable. As a result, the novels are more representative of events and thinking of the early nineteenth century than any other period. The main theme in both novels is the importance of unity and illustrating the destructive nature of any division. The protagonists unify under the banner of King Richard and the Templars pursue a course of independence. Scott’s works also helped to formulate notions of Scottish identity, Freemasonry (and their alleged forbearers the Templars) and Victorian behaviours. However, Scott’s image is only one of a long history of Templars featuring in literature over the centuries. Like Scott, the previous renditions of the Templars are more illustrations of the contemporary than historical accounts. One matter for unease in the early 1800s was religion and Catholic Emancipation.

  • Antiquaries in the Age of Romanticism: 1789-1851
    Antiquaries in the Age of Romanticism: 1789-1851 Rosemary Hill Queen Mary, University of London Submitted for the degree of PhD March 2011 1 I confirm that the work presented in this thesis and submitted for the degree of PhD is my own. Rosemary Hill 2 Abstract The thesis concentrates on the work of fourteen antiquaries active in the period from the French Revolution to the Great Exhibition in England, Scotland and France. I have used a combination of the antiquaries’ published works, which cover, among other subjects, architecture, topography, costume history, Shakespeare and the history of furniture, alongside their private papers to develop an account of that lived engagement with the past which characterised the romantic period. It ends with the growing professionalistion and specialisation of historical studies in the mid-nineteenth century which left little room for the self-generating, essentially romantic antiquarian enterprise. In so far as this subject has been considered at all it has been in the context of what has come to be called ‘the invention of tradition’. It is true that the romantic engagement with history as narrative led to some elaboration of the facts, while the newness of the enterprise laid it open to mistakes. I have not ignored this. The restoration of the Bayeux Tapestry, the forged tartans of the Sobieski Stuarts and the creation of Shakespeare’s Birthplace are all considered. Overall, however, I have been concerned not to debunk but as it were to ‘rebunk’, to see the antiquaries in their historical context and, as far as possible, in their own terms.

Il faut néanmoins souligner que de nombreux documents couvrant des années antérieures à l'an 2000 sont encore conservés dans les bureaux de la Bibliothèque où ils sont régulièrement utilisés ou consultés par les directeurs et bibliothécaires. L'emplacement de ces documents encore utilisés est prévu dans l'ensemble des Archives BPU, aussi n'est-il pas surprenant de voir de nombreuses rubriques encore vides.

G et disponibles à la Réserve Mai 2019 [email protected] NOTES AU FIL DE LA PLUME Dans son programme de mise en valeur du fonds Denis, la Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève a entrepris, à partir de 2016, de numériser : – la correspondance de Denis détenue par la B S G ; – le manuscrit de son journal brésilien intitulé Mes sottises quotidiennes ; – les exemplaires de ses propres livres qui sont, le plus souvent, augmentés de nombreuses pages de notes ; – les livres d'auteurs, principalement portugais ou brésiliens, offerts à Denis ou acquis par lui et, pour beaucoup, également annotés sans que ces notes soient toujours en rapport avec le livre qui les supporte ; – des notes manuscrites que Denis regroupait sous le titre de Notes prises au courant de la plume et qu'il faisait relier ; – des notes éparses rassemblées dans deux dossiers “fourre-tout” dont Denis dit qu'il était seul à pouvoir s'y retrouver (« Il n'est donné qu'à moi de me reconnaître dans ce farrago bon à jeter au feu pour tout autre. » Ms 3505, f. 420). Cet ensemble ne couvre qu'une partie réduite des archives de Denis ; n'y figurent notamment pas les manuscrits de son ouvrage sur l'Éloquence et la poésie des peuples sauvages qui, entrepris dès son retour du Brésil, souvent annoncé dans la presse, ne fut jamais terminé. La correspondance émise par Denis lors de son séjour au Brésil et le journal qu'il y a tenu ont été analysés en détail par le professeur Bourdon ; les archives manuscrites léguées par Denis à la Bibliothèque Sainte- Geneiève ont été étudiées et répertoriées par Cicero Dias dans son Catalogue.

  • Approaching Walter Scott Part 1: a Meeting of Minds Between Robert Burns and a Literary Great in the Making. National, 2017, 13 Jan
    Riach, A. (2017) Approaching Walter Scott Part 1: A meeting of minds between Robert Burns and a literary great in the making. National, 2017, 13 Jan. This is the author’s final accepted version. There may be differences between this version and the published version. You are advised to consult the publisher’s version if you wish to cite from it. http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/161542/ Deposited on: 30 April 2018 Enlighten – Research publications by members of the University of Glasgow http://eprints.gla.ac.uk Approaching Walter Scott: Part One Alan Riach As Burns season rolls round once again, let’s spend some time with Walter Scott. In the first of a three-part essay, we’re going on the DH Lawrence principle, “Never trust the teller, trust the tale.” Scott had his limitations. Who doesn’t? But don’t damn him with “unionism” and leave it at that. His greatest novels have things as relevant today as ever, questioning the worth of the union, and its terrible cost to the people of Scotland. Where to begin? When Walter Scott was fifteen, in Edinburgh in the winter of 1786-87, he attended a number of literary evenings at the home of the philosopher Adam Ferguson, one of which hosted as guest the adult Robert Burns. Burns asked the assembled company for the name of the poet who prompted the artist who was responsible for a picture hanging on the wall, and when all the learned men in the room were stumped, the wee boy Scott was able to answer the question.

  • Sir Walter Scott - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Sir Walter Scott - poems - Publication Date: 2004 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Sir Walter Scott(1771-1832) Walter Scott, born in College Wynd, Edinburgh, was the son of a lawyer. Educated first at Edinburgh High School and then University he was apprenticed to his father and called to the bar in 1792. An avid reader of poetry, history, drama and romances, the young Scott read widely in Italian, Spanish, Latin and German. In his twenties he was influenced particularly by the German Romantics and his first published works were translations of G.A. Bürger and Goethe. These were followed by the collections of border ballads and the narrative poems, written between 1805 and 1815, that first made him famous. By by this time he had also married Margaret Charlotte Charpenter, of a French Royalist family, and became sheriff-deputy of Selkirkshire, in 1797 and 1799 respectively. In 1809 Scott became partners with John Ballanytne in a book-selling business and also, as an ardent political conservative, helped to found the Tory 'Quarterly Review'. In 1811 he built a residence at Abbotsford on the Tweed. By 1815, beginning to feel eclipsed as a poet by Byron, he turned to the novel form for which he is now chiefly famous. A vast number of these were published, anonymously, over approximately the next fifteen years. In 1820 Scott was made a baronet and seven years later, in 1827, he first gave his name to his works. However, in 1826 the book-selling business became involved in the bankruptcy of another company, leaving Scott with debts of approximately £114,000.

  • Comique, Humour Et Ironie Dans Les Récits De Voyages De Chateaubriand
    Le Sourire de René Comique, humour et ironie dans les récits de voyages de Chateaubriand Thèse présentée à la Faculté des lettres et sciences humaines Institut de littérature française Université de Neuchâtel Pour l’obtention du grade de docteur ès lettres Par Caroline Rosset Acceptée sur proposition du jury : Prof. Daniel Sangsue, directeur de thèse Prof. Philippe Antoine, rapporteur Prof. Jean-Marie Roulin, rapporteur Prof. Juan Rigoli, rapporteur Soutenue le 29 juin 2011 Université de Neuchâtel 2012 Mots clés en français : Chateaubriand, récits de voyage, comique, humour, ironie, poétique, romantisme Mots clés en anglais : Chateaubriand, travel stories, comedy, humour, irony, poetic, romanticism Résumé : Cette thèse cherche à renouveler la lecture des Voyages de Chateaubriand et à montrer que leurs éléments comiques participent à la création d’une nouvelle forme de relation viatique, en accord avec la sensibilité romantique. Après une mise au point théorique, la première partie de la recherche propose d’analyser les différentes sortes de comique dans les récits de voyage de Chateaubriand, en traçant le cheminement qui mène l’auteur de la satire à l’humour. La satire du voyageur illustre la tendance à la démystification qui caractérise l’auteur des Mémoires d’outre-tombe et offre une vision lucide et réaliste du monde, qui lui permet non seulement de prendre ses distances par rapport à la littérature idéalisante de sa bibliothèque de voyage, mais aussi de se rallier à l’idéal d’authenticité qui conditionne, à son époque encore, le récit viatique. Or, Chateaubriand rejette explicitement le comique satirique, qu’il attribue aux sarcasmes des philosophes et à leur incrédulité.

George Wheler, who travelled from –, was different in almost every respect: he was twenty-three on his departure, about five years older than most tourists; his parents were not at all well-off, though a fortunate recent inheritance had saved them from severe financial problems; far from having a large country house and an estate, they had recently left the Old Palace, Charing, a house which they had leased for many years, and were living modestly in that village in Kent.
