Inhuman Power: Infrastructural Modernism And The Fiction Of Social Form Abstract E.M. Forster’s imperative to “only connect” has long been read as modernist slogan for the rarefied depth of authentic interpersonal intimacy. Reframing the historical co-emergence of literary modernism and modern social science, this project tells a different story—not of connections between exceptional humans, but of connections between persons and environments. The prevailing canons of modernism have not yet grasped the internal complexity of early-twentieth-century debates regarding the interdependence of human and nonhuman agency. Early-twentieth-century sociologists like Émile Durkheim grounded both the autonomy of human culture and the disciplinary authority of sociology on the premise of species exceptionalism—the independence

    Penn History Review Volume 26 Issue 1 Penn History Review: Journal of Article 3 Undergraduate Historians 6-6-2019 “Winning Little aB nnockburns”: Memory, the Great War, and the Rise of Scottish Nationalism Brooke Krancer University of Pennsylvania This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/phr/vol26/iss1/3 For more information, please contact [email protected]. Memory, the Great War, & the Rise of Scottish Nationalism “Winning Little Bannockburns”: Memory, the Great War, and the Rise of Scottish Nationalism Brooke Krancer On June 20, 1914, at the sexcentenary celebration of the Scottish defeat of the English at the Battle of Bannockburn, for- mer British prime minister Lord Rosebery addressed the youth of Scotland: Do you children feel that you, too, might grow up to be heroes like them; to be ready, if necessary, to die for your country, your freedom, and your King; and if that chance do not come, as I hope it may not, to be heroes, as you may all be in your daily lives, winning little Bannock burns for yourselves over the forces of evil? Try.1 Mere weeks later, Britain was embroiled in the First World War. The sort of rhetoric used by the English Lord Rosebery was ex- ceedingly common during the war, appropriating the memory of Bannockburn and Scotland’s martial history of victory against England in the Wars of Independence to reinforce the idea of a British rather than Scottish identity and encourage Scottish peo- ple to die for a British king and country.2 After the conflict, the Great War itself would be folded into this mythologized memory of Scotland’s history and likewise used for ideological and politi- cal reasons by different groups with varying goals.

  • The Metaphors of Identity
    1 Sacred Lambencies and Thin Crusts: The Metaphors of Identity ...They went to the window. The fronting heavens were a black purple. The thunder, which had been growling in the distance, swept forward and roared above the town. The crash no longer roared afar, but cracked close to the ear, hard, crepitant. Quick lightning stabbed the world in vicious and repeated hate. A blue-black moistness lay heavy on the cowering earth. George Douglas Brown, The House with the Green Shutters, 1901¹ If a city hasn’t been used by an artist not even the inhabitants live there imaginatively. Alasdair Gray, Lanark, 1982² INATURAMALIGNA The Atlantic coast was appreciated for the qualities of light and landscape—the soft days of the Irish west, the clarity of Cornwall, the Welsh picturesque at Betws- y-Coed—but Victorian fictionalists encountered a Scotland which seemed irredeem- ably dour: bleakness of moorland, withered grasses, stunted trees, flailed by a merciless wind; towns and villages slattern and sullen; great cities truly hellish chasms of filthy streets and pandemonian crowds. ‘Land of the mountain and the flood’ char- acterizes some of this. The ‘Bonnie Briar Bush’ of the Kailyarder Ian MacLaren waves outside the window of a talented boy dying of tuberculosis. The same malady kills Cunninghame Graham’s returning migrant at ‘Beattock for Moffat’. George Douglas Brown in The House with the Green Shutters granted himself a couple of sentences of exhilaration, but soon let fly with natura maligna.

  • The Scottish Covenant John W
    _j_ ..." .'·. THE SCOTTISH COVENANT JOHN W. 0LIVER* "W E, the people of Scotland who subscribe this Engagement declare our belief that reform in the constitution of our country is necessary to secure good government in accordance with our Scottish traditions, and to promote the spiritual and economic .. welfare of our nation. ,, "We affirm the desire for such reform is both deep and wide­ spread throughout the whole community, transcending all political differences and sectional interests and we undertake to continue united in purpose for its achievement. "With that end in view we solemnly enter into this Covenant, whereby we pledge ourselves in all loyalty to the Crown and within the framework of the United Kingdom, to do everything in our power to secure for Scotland a parliament with adequate legisla­ tive authority in Scottish affairs." That is the document to which, during the last six or seven months, well over a million of the adult population of Scotland have appended their signatures. That so many Scots could be found prepared to sign such a document has startled many people outside Scotland, who had assumed that the Scottish people, for the past two centuries had been contentedly digesting tho blessings conferred on them by the Parliamentary Union of 1707, seasoned perhaps by local sauce in the form of tartan, Gaelic, and the songs of Burns. How has this thing come about? The answer is that it is ~~ the result of a remarkable movement of the mind of Scotland ·.. · during the past thirty years. To describe that movement one is w' tempted to adopt the technique of the old-fashioned historical novel.
