Michael Morris Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Department of English Literature School of Critical Studies University of Glasgow September 2012 2 Abstract This thesis, situated between literature, history and memory studies participates in the modern recovery of the long-obscured relations between Scotland and the Caribbean. I develop the suggestion that the Caribbean represents a forgotten lieu de mémoire where Scotland might fruitfully ‘displace’ itself. Thus it examines texts from the Enlightenment to Romantic eras in their historical context and draws out their implications for modern national, multicultural, postcolonial concerns. Theoretically it employs a ‘transnational’ Atlantic Studies perspective that intersects with issues around creolisation, memory studies, and British ‘Four Nations’ history.

Tents, sandbags, hammocks, and insect netting, as well as other items used in jungle warfare, are subject to attack by micro- organisms. The information here presented concerns the testing of fabric for resistance to such attack and may be summarized as follows. SUMMARY A simple apparatus is described for subjecting fabric treated with mildew preventives to water leaching under controlled conditions. Several fungi have been found capable of tendering treated fabric of higher copper content than that attacked in similar tests by the common test organisms Chaetomium globosum and Metarrhizium sp. The evidence presented suggests that the copper tolerance of soil fungi contributes to the severity of soil-burial tests on such fabric. Steam sterilization of fabric containing certain common organic pre- servatives, even for as short an interval as 15 minutes at 15 pounds' steam pressure, in a number of instances decreased the mildew resist- ance of the fabric, as indicated by subsequent culture tests.
