UMI 300 North Zeeb Road Ann Arbor, MI 48103 Copyright by Kenneth Michael McNeil 1998 ABSTRACT My dissertation investigates the condition of Scottish Highland identity in nineteenth-century British culture and suggests a rethinking of British national identity formation. Highland identity was constructed as that of a strange yet alluring people altogether outside the nation who nevertheless came to represent the very essence of the nation. Beginning in the late eighteenth century, the Scottish Highlands, largely ignored before then, became the subject of intense scrutiny and fascination for metropolitan Britons in Edinburgh and London. Highlanders were thought to be Britain's own home-grown Noble Savages, and their distinct romanticized culture figured prominently in many different cultural representations. Like the "wild" Indians of North America, to whom they often were compared. Highlanders were an exotic race of people whose primitive society placed them beyond civilized British society. The very alterity of the Highlander, however, was brought into the service of articulating British national identity in several important ways. The Highlands were introduced into British consciousness by Scottish cultural authorities in Edinburgh—the foremost of these was Walter Scott—to voice Scotland's own distinctive identity within the framework of British union. Highland "tribal" customs and traditions, manner of dress, literature, music, and landscape all continued to register as strange and exotic while remaining uniquely "British." I explore the making of this contradictory identity through an investigation of its representations in a wide variety of genres, including literature, historiography, military accounts. II economic treatises, committee reports, letters, narrative painting, pageant plans, travelogues, and published and private diaries. The unique position of Highland culture and society, both inside and outside the nation, suggests new ways of thinking about British notions of alterity in the nation's imperial century. My introduction provides an overview of my argument and explores the multiple cultural and critical locations my work occupies. Chapter Two focuses on the cultural anxieties of Scottishliterati in the face of Scottish marginalization within Great Britain in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The anxiety of pro-Union Scots like Hugh Blair and Adam Ferguson that Scotland would become assimilated into an Anglicized Great Britain prompted them to promote a romantic Scottish Highland culture that asserted Scotland's difference from England. I explore this phenomenon through an analysis of the debates surrounding James Macpherson's "translations" of Ossian and the Scott-orchestrated pageantry attending George IV’s visit to Edinburgh in 1822. At stake in the Ossian debates were the "racial" origins of Scotland. The popularity of Ossian and Macpherson's ideas determined that Scotland would be thought of as a Celtic not a Saxon nation. Yet, by voicing Scotland's "Celtic" heart through translation, Macpherson also paradoxically reinforced Highland difference. Scott's "Celtification" of Scottish identity through his use of "Highland" symbols and rituals during the king's visit ensured that Highland identity would come to represent Scottish identity while fostering the links with Highland traditions and the British monarchy. Chapter Three investigates the importance of Highland violence in British historiography in the early nineteenth century, exemplified by Scott's Tales of a Grandfather. Scott's long work unfolds the specific history of Scotland up to the achievement of Union and the demise of Jacobitism in the mid-eighteenth century. It also relates the universal development of "civilization" in Great 111 Britain. In the Tales, Scott paradoxically configures Highland savagery as the ahistorical characteristic of a primitive tribal people and as the historical agent of Jacobitism in the eighteenth century. The failure of Highland society to advance until the end of the eighteenth century and the destruction of Jacobitism reveal tensions and ruptures which destabilize the Enlightenment theory of progress upon which Scott bases his understanding of "history." Chapter Four analyzes representations of the idealized Highland warrior. In Scott's Waverley, Evan Dhu, loyal lieutenant to his chieftain and bom and raised in the Highlands, is the prototype of the Highland warrior who is hardy, intrepid, fearless and absolutely loyal to his superior. His Highland chieftain, Fergus Maclvor, reveals his non-Highland upbringing in the atypicality of his behavior. ThoughWaverley is set during the last Jacobite uprising in 1745,1 read the novel in the context of the great national struggle of Scott's own time: Britain's long war with Napoleonic France. Scott was an ardent war "hawk" and followed closely the triumphs of Scottish Highland regiments in the Peninsula and on the continent. Waverley serves the nationalist aims of British war advocates of Scott's own time by providing a Highland model for an ideal war hero in opposition the "effeminate" French. Chapter Five investigates the relationship between depictions of the general "martial" character of Highland society and of "martial races" of the East in British military discourse after the Indian Rebellion. Martial race theory exactly reproduces earlier descriptions of the Highland warrior-soldier. Ironically, however, Victorian narratives of the Indian Rebellion depict the exotic Highlander (whose kilted "feminine" garb was thought to incite panic on sight among native resisters) in the service of counter-insurgency. The fanaticism of the East is m et w ith the "Gaelic fury" of the West. Juxtaposing representations of the martial race subject, which saw their earliest beginnings in military writing IV after the rebellion, reveals irresolvable tensions and ruptures underlying the logic of colonial alterity in the very kind of texts where such logic needs to be reinforced aggressively. Picturesque depictions of the Highlands emphasized their position on the margins of the British nation, both spatially and culturally. A journey to the Highlands from London or even Edinburgh was a journey to a wild, exotic, distant land; yet the popularity of Ossian’s poems and Scott's fiction made many Highland places quite familiar to readers. Chapter Six explores travelogues and depictions of the strange-yet-familiar Highland landscape. The shift from travelogues which see the Highlands as alien to those which see them as simultaneously alien and familiar is also a gendered one. Early travelogues that saw the Highlands only in aesthetic terms, as a landscape, were also largely written by men. Later women travelogues like Dorothy Wordsworth's in 1803 and Anne Grant's in 1811 depict the Highlands as wild and sublime yet also as the location of ideal domestic relations. This dichotomy is highlighted by Queen Victoria's autobiography of her life in the Highlands. Victoria depicts her Highland life as one in which she is freed from the constraints of her role as sovereign and is able to fulfill ideally her roles as wife and mother. Victoria's travelogue made the wild Highlands a part of the image of the British monarchy while representing the royal family as an ideal middle-class family.

  • Roodstown Castle Video Script
    Roodstown Castle Adèle Commins and Daithí Kearney Roodstown Castle is a prominent feature of the built heritage of Co. Louth. Its excellent state of preservation gives it added stature and it provides an excellent example of a tower house in Ireland. National records provide an interesting account of the change of name of the townland of Roodstown since 1301. Over the years the following variants of the name existed: Rotheston (1301), Routheston (1305), Rotheston (1582), Roothstowne (1635), Roothtowne (1655), Roothestowne (1658), Roods towne (1659), Rootstowne (1664), Roodestowne (1666), Roodstowne (1667), Roothstowne (1670), Roothtown (1685), Rootstown (1777), Roodstown (1836). At this time it was noted that Rooth was a family name.1 The 1837 Topographical Dictionary of Ireland noted that the townland contained 25 houses at the time with 148 inhabitants and described it as a village.2 This dictionary also suggested that the townland was called Rootstown or Ruthstown. In the Barony of Ardee and Civil Parish of Stabannan, the townland of Roodstown is surrounded by a number of other townlands including Gudderstown, Rock, Broadlough, Drumcashel, Philibenstown and Irishtown. Roodstown Castle is the most prominent structure today in the townland. The castle overlooks the N33 and the River Dee and is an imposing feature in the landscape visible today from a number of surrounding roads including the N52 and N33. Roodstown Castle is positioned on the roadside at a junction. To the right of the castle is Ardee and to the left of the castle is Stabannan. In days gone by this was the main road from Ardee to Castlebellingham.

Goizueta, Ph.D. Committee Member ii ABSTRACT HONOR AND CARITAS: BARTOLOMÉ DE LAS CASAS, SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE, AND THE CONQUEST OF THE AMERICAS Name: Costello, Damian Matthew University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. William L. Portier This dissertation - a postcolonial re-examination of Bartolomé de las Casas, the 16th century Spanish priest often called “The Protector of the Indians” - is a conversation between three primary components: a biography of Las Casas, an interdisciplinary history of the conquest of the Americas and early Latin America, and an analysis of the Spanish debate over the morality of Spanish colonialism. The work adds two new theses to the scholarship of Las Casas: a reassessment of the process of Spanish expansion and the nature of Las Casas’s opposition to it. The first thesis challenges the dominant paradigm of 16th century Spanish colonialism, which tends to explain conquest as the result of perceived religious and racial difference; that is, Spanish conquistadors turned to military force as a means of imposing Spanish civilization and Christianity on heathen Indians.
