He must acknowledge that the materials were i scanty. Many d sadvantages were in the way . Had e gr ater time been expended, and more careful research h as been made, the writer no doubt but that a more minute Memoir might have been produced ; b ut while his ac he laments this , he begs to tender grateful know ledgm ents to those kind friends who have warm o h s ly entered into his views . Am ng t e e h e is happy m thus publicly to mention the na es of Mr. R . W . - n of G reenock .

  • THE GUY MANNERING the U.S. Ship Guy Mannering Was Built at New
    THE GUY MANNERING The U.S. ship Guy Mannering was built at New York by William H. Webb, New York, for Robert L. Taylor and Nathaniel W. Merrill's line (called in Liverpool the Black Star Line) of sailing packets between New York and Liverpool, and launched in March 1849. Dimensions: 1,418 tons; 190 ft x 42 ft 6 in x 29 ft 8 in (length x beam x depth of hold); 3 decks (the first three- decked merchant vessel built in the United States); draft load 24 ft. The name Guy Mannering was derived from a romance published by Sir Walter Scott in 1815; Taylor & Merrill had already given names derived from Scott's works to two earlier ships built for them by William H. Webb, the Marmion (1846), and the Ivanhoe (1847). It's inaugural trip from New York to Liverpool was in April/May 1849. Her return voyage saw her sail from Liverpool on May 22nd 1849, arriving in New York on June 28th 1849 with a passenger list of mainly Irish emigrants but a small subset of 58 lead miners and their families from the Allendale area of Northumberland, England, who had been been blacklisted following an industrial dispute. The ship's passenger list from this voyage may be seen at http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/Indexes/PassengerLists/GuyMannering.html Passenger lists for subsequent trips from Liverpool to New York in 1851 and 1854 show the same preponderance of Irish emigrants. March 1851 - http://www.immigrantships.net/v7/1800v7/guymannering18510303_02.html August 1854 - http://www.immigrantships.net/v7/1800v7/guymannering18540816.html The ship plied other routes apart from Liverpool – New York.

  • The Author of Waverley, with His Various Personas, Is a Highly
    Promoting Saint Ronans Well: Scotts Fiction and Scottish Community in Transition MATSUI Yuko The Author of Waverley, with his various personas, is a highly sociable and com- municative writer, as we observe in the frequent and lively exchanges between the author and his reader or characters in the conclusions of Old Mortality1816 and Redgauntlet1824 , or in the prefaces to The Abbot1820 and The Betrothed1825 , to give only a few examples. Walter Scott himself, after giving up his anonymity, seems to enjoy an intimate author-reader relationship in his prefaces and notes to the Magnum Opus edition. Meanwhile, Scott often adapts and combines more than one historical event or actual person, his sources or originals, in his attempt to recre- ate the life of a particular historical period and give historical sense to it, as books like W. S. Crocketts The Scott Originals1912 eloquently testify, and with the Porteous Riot and Helen Walker in The Heart of Midlothian1818 as one of the most obvious examples. Both of these characteristics often tend to encourage an active interaction between the real and the imagined, or their confluence, within and outwith Scott＇s historical fiction, perhaps most clearly shown in the development of tourism in 19th century Scotland1. In the case of Saint Ronan’s Well1824 [1823], Scotts only novel set in the 19th century, its contemporaneity seems to have allowed that kind of interaction and confluence to take its own vigorous form, sometimes involving an actual commu- nity or other authors of contemporary Scotland. Thus, we would like to examine here the ways in which Scott adapts his sources to explore his usual interest in historical change in this contemporary fiction and how it was received, particularly in terms of its effect on a local community in Scotland and in terms of its inspiration for his fellow authors, and thus reconsider the part played by Scotts fiction in imagining and pro- moting Scotland in several ways, in present and past Scotland.

INTRODUCTION The present work completes a series of fictitious narratives, intended to illustrate the manners of Scotland at three different periods. _Waverley_ embraced the age of our fathers, _Guy Mannering_ that of our own youth, and the _Antiquary_ refers to the last ten years of the eighteenth century. I have, in the two last narratives especially, sought my principal personages in the class of society who are the last to feel the influence of that general polish which assimilates to each other the manners of different nations.

  • Guy Mannering Or the Astrologer Vol. I by Sir Walter Scott
    Guy Mannering Or The Astrologer Vol. I By Sir Walter Scott Guy Mannering or the Astrologer Vol.I by Sir Walter Scott INTRODUCTION The Novel or Romance of Waverley made its way to the public slowly, of course, at first, but afterwards with such accumulating popularity as to encourage the Author to a second attempt. He looked about for a name and a subject; and the manner in which the novels were composed cannot be better illustrated than by reciting the simple narrative on which Guy Mannering was originally founded; but to which, in the progress of the work, the production ceased to bear any, even the most distant resemblance. The tale was originally told me by an old servant of my father's, an excellent old Highlander, without a fault, unless a preference to mountain dew over less potent liquors be accounted one. He believed as firmly in the story as in any part of his creed. A grave and elderly person, according to old John MacKinlay's account, while travelling in the wilder parts of Galloway, was benighted. With difficulty he found his way to a country seat, where, with the hospitality of the time and country, he was readily admitted. The owner of the house, a gentleman of good fortune, was much struck by the reverend appearance of his guest, and apologised to him for a certain degree of confusion which must unavoidably attend his reception, and could not escape his eye. The lady of the house was, he said, confined to her apartment, and on the point of making her husband a father for the first time, though they had been ten years married.

    Procreativity: Remediation and Rob Roy University Press Scholarship Online Oxford Scholarship Online The Afterlives of Walter Scott: Memory on the Move Ann Rigney Print publication date: 2012 Print ISBN-13: 9780199644018 Published to Oxford Scholarship Online: May 2012 DOI: 10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199644018.001.0001 Procreativity: Remediation and Rob Roy Ann Rigney DOI:10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199644018.003.0003 Abstract and Keywords Scott’s work was not only immensely popular but also extremely procreative: that is, it generated many new versions of itself in both print and other media. Using the concept of remediation, Chapter 2 focuses on Scott’s procreativity in other media, especially the theatre, in order to explain the apparent paradox that novelistic adaptation was linked both to the desire for new forms of immediacy and to the pleasure of reiteration. After a brief survey of the adaptations of his work to the visual arts and material culture, the chapter turns to dramatizations of the Waverley novels, focusing in particular on the repeated productions of Rob Roy (1817) whose popularity on stage is explained as a way of performing Scottishness ‘live’. The later adaptations of the novel to the screen show how Scott’s novel helped relay popular culture into the twentieth century.

Graeme Tytler "Faith in the Hand of Nature": Physiognomy in Sir Walter Scott's Fiction One aspect of Sir Walter Scott's fiction that has received critical attention down the years is his treatment of physical character description, whereby comments made on that subject in the twentieth century would appear to have been generally more objective, not to say more sober, than some made in the nineteenth century, the early part of which is conspicuous for outright con­ demnations of Scott's uses of this device. l Nevertheless, there were at that time literary critics such as John Adolphus and Edward Channing who not only wrote favorably about Scott's descriptive techniques, but seemed alive to their physiognomic implications, even though neither of them, nor, indeed, any other literary critic of that period, is known to have mentioned or alluded to physiognomic theory.2 It was not until the latter half of the twentieth century that scholars first remarked on references to physiognomy in Scott's fiction, doing so, however, without touching on the historical background against lFor examples of nineteenth·century condemnation of Scott's character description, see especially John O.

  • How Stage Performances from Ivanhoe Brought Scott's Characters to the Widest Audiences
    The Wenshan Review of Literature and Culture．Vol 13.2．June 2020．69-97. DOI: 10.30395/WSR.202006_13(2).0004 “. anything like the words”: how Stage Performances from Ivanhoe Brought Scott’s Characters to the Widest Audiences Barbara Bell ABSTRACT The publication of Ivanhoe and its rapid uptake by the theatres of his day came hard on successful stage adaptations of earlier novels, particularly Guy Mannering and Rob Roy. Amidst the highly structured format of the Georgian theatre industry, divided between the Patent houses, able to perform the spoken word, and the Minor houses, supposedly confined to music, dance, mime and the nebulous burletta, the Scott adaptations were almost uniquely placed to cross class and genre divides as a form of parallel contemporary reception. They were already causing shifts in the theatre industry when Ivanhoe appeared and audiences at a range of venues now had particular expectations of the work of playwrights with this material. This article aims to place adaptations of Ivanhoe within their overall theatrical contexts, to trace their debts one to another, to look at their stage careers beside those of other Scott adaptations and to trace their progress throughout the nineteenth century across different types of venues and genres, from parlour music to hippodrama. KEYWORDS: dramatization, British Theatre, illegitimate theatre, nineteenth-century hippodrama, working-class audiences, Patent Houses, Jewish characters, Sir Walter Scott, Waverley Novels Received: January 20, 2019; Accepted: January 15, 2020 Barbara Bell, an independent researcher, United Kingdom ([email protected]). 70 The Wenshan Review of Literature and Culture．Vol 13.2．June 2020 I.
