Rather it suggeststhat a number of significant poets emerged in the period who represent an ongoing clearly Scottish tradition, characterised by protean identities and eccentricity, which leads on to MacDiarmid and the `Scottish Renaissance'of the twentieth century. The work of the poets in question is thus seen as marked by recurring linguistic, stylistic and thematic eccentricities which are often radical and subversive.

Speer Byron and the Scottish Literary 1radition It has been over forty years since T. S. Eliot proposed that we consider Byron as a Scottish poet. 1 Since then, anthologies of Scottish verse and histories of Scottish literature seldom neglect to mention, though always cursorily, Byron's rightful place in them. The anthologies typically make brief reference to Byron and explain that his work is so readily available else­ where it need be included in short samples or not at al1.2 An historian of the Scots tradition argues for Byron's Scottish­ ness but of course cannot treat a writer who did not use Scots. 3 This position at least disagrees with Edwin Muir's earlier ar­ gument that with the late eighteenth century passing of Scots from everyday to merely literary use, a Scottish literature of greatness had passed away.4 Kurt

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.

Distinctive Caledonian pine and birch woods extend uphill, giving way to open moorland on the higher adjacent hills. The valley forms a major north-south transport corridor: road and rail routes, and busy settlements, contrast with the tranquillity of the river and hills. Prehistoric settlement remains are common, and some military structures such as Ruthven barracks, are still prominent. The architectural character is predominantly mid to late 18 th century, as a result of improvements in agriculture and the opening of the railway from Perth to Aviemore in 1863. Distilleries form frequent landmarks amongst the settlements and steadings.

They seem large until compared to the Cairngorm Mountains immediately to the south. The uplands are heather-clad and managed for grouse. Now sparsely populated, the remains of shielings are scattered on the hills, demonstrating the importance of transhumance to past communities.

  • 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.

CROFTANGRY’S CASTLE AND THE HOUSE OF USHER: SCOTT, POE, AND “DECAYED AND LINGERING EXOTICS” George S. Williams The final paragraph of Poe’s short story “The Fall of the House of Usher” (1839) leaves the reader with a vivid image of the Usher house crumbling and sinking into “the deep and dank tarn.”1 It is a dramatic scene, underscoring the end, not only of the physical house, but also of the Usher family name and, indeed, of the story itself. Jeffrey Savoye has argued that one of Poe’s sources for the scene was Scott’s Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border.2 Scott’s introductory note on the modern ballad “Lord Soulis,” by John Leyden, describes the Borders Castle of Hermitage, which, unable to support the load of iniquity which had long been accumulating within its walls, is supposed to have partially sunk beneath the ground; and its ruins are regarded by the peasants with pecular aversion and terror.3 In addition to the specific source posited by Savoye, Poe’s story also has a deeper kinship with other Scott texts.
