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.

    For Immediate Release 19 March 2007 Contact: Matthew Paton 020.7389.2664 [email protected] SELECTED CONTENTS FROM TWO GREAT SCOTTISH HOUSES TO BE REVEALED AT CHRISTIE’S IN MAY SCONE PALACE AND BLAIRQUHAN The Selected Contents of Two Great Scottish Houses 24 May 2007 London – Christie’s announce the auction of Scone Palace and Blairquhan - The Selected Contents of Two Great Scottish Houses which will take place in London on 24 May. The sale will offer a wide selection of pictures, furniture, works of art, ceramics and silver from two famous Scottish Houses; Scone Palace, Perthshire, coronation site and ancient heart of Scotland and the seat of the Earls of Mansfield and Mansfield, and Blairquhan, Ayrshire, ancestral home of the Hunter Blair family. The auction will include over 500 lots ranging from old master pictures to Scottish antique curling stones, much of which have been hidden under dust-covers in attic storage for many years and will now be revealed to the delight of collectors and connoisseurs. Individual estimates in the sale range from £250 to £100,000. The following day on 25 May, Christie’s will present the auction of Scottish Art including the Hunter Blair Colourist Collection (see separate release). Scone Palace breathes history and romance like no other place in Scotland. It was the coronation site of the Scottish Kings for nearly eight centuries; Kenneth Macalpine, first King of the Scots, was enthroned at Scone circa 843, as were 48 Scottish monarchs, including Charles II, who became the last to be crowned there in 1651. The grounds of the Palace were also the seat of Macbeth, immortalised by the Shakespeare play, who ruled as King of Scotland from 1040-1057.

  • Singing up the Country Reveals That Bob Trubshawhas Been Researching a Surprising Variety of Different Topics Since His Last Book Six Years Ago
    Singing Up the Country reveals that Bob Trubshawhas been researching a surprising variety of different topics since his last book six years ago. From Anglo-Saxon place-names to early Greek philosophy - and much in between - he creates an interwoven approach to the prehistoric landscape, creating a ‘mindscape’ that someone in NeolithicBritain might just recognise. This is a mindscapewhere sound, swans and rivers help us to understand the megalithic monuments. Continuing from where scholarship usually stops and using instead the approaches of storytelling, the final chapter weaves this wide variety of ideas together as a ‘songline’ for the Aveburylandscape. This re-mythologising of the land follows two ‘dreamtime’ ancestors along the Kennetvalley to the precursors of Aveburyhengeand SilburyHill. Few writers have Bob Trubshaw’sbreadth of knowledge combined with a mythopoeticability to construct a modern day story that re-enchants the landscape. Singing Up the Country will be an inspiration to all those interested in prehistory, mythology or the Neolithicmonuments of the World Heritage Site at Avebury.
