  • Broadly Speaking : Scots Language and British Imperialism
    BROADLY SPEAKING: SCOTS LANGUAGE AND BRITISH IMPERIALISM Sean Murphy A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of PhD at the University of St Andrews 2017 Full metadata for this item is available in St Andrews Research Repository at: http://research-repository.st-andrews.ac.uk/ Please use this identifier to cite or link to this item: http://hdl.handle.net/10023/11047 This item is protected by original copyright Sean Murphy, ‘Broadly Speaking. Scots language and British imperialism.’ Abstract This thesis offers a three-pronged perspective on the historical interconnections between Lowland Scots language(s) and British imperialism. Through analyses of the manifestation of Scots linguistic varieties outwith Scotland during the nineteenth century, alongside Scottish concerns for maintaining the socio-linguistic “propriety” and literary “standards” of “English,” this discussion argues that certain elements within Lowland language were employed in projecting a sentimental-yet celebratory conception of Scottish imperial prestige. Part I directly engages with nineteenth-century “diasporic” articulations of Lowland Scots forms, focusing on a triumphal, ceremonial vocalisation of Scottish shibboleths, termed “verbal tartanry.” Much like physical emblems of nineteenth-century Scottish iconography, it is suggested that a verbal tartanry served to accentuate Scots distinction within a broader British framework, tied to a wider imperial superiorism. Parts II and III look to the origins of this verbal tartanry. Part II turns back to mid eighteenth-century Scottish linguistic concerns, suggesting the emergence of a proto-typical verbal tartanry through earlier anxieties to ascertain “correct” English “standards,” and the parallel drive to perceive, prohibit, and prescribe Scottish linguistic usage. It is argued that later eighteenth-century Scottish philological priorities for the roots and “purity” of Lowland Scots forms – linked to “ancient” literature and “racially”-loaded origin myths – led to an encouraged “uncovering” of hallowed linguistic traits.

  • “Harry the Ninth (The Uncrowned King of Scotland)”
    “Harry the Ninth (The Uncrowned King of Scotland)” Henry Dundas and the Politics of Self-Interest, 1790-1802 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in History. Sam Gribble 307167623 University of Sydney October 2012 Abstract The career of Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville underscores the importance of individual self-interest in British public life during the 1790-1802 Revolutionary Wars with France. Examining the political intrigue surrounding Dundas’ 1806 impeachment, the manner in which he established his political power, and contemporary critiques of self-interest, this thesis both complicates and adds nuance to understandings of the political culture of ‘Old Corruption’ in the late-Georgian era. As this thesis demonstrates, despite the wealth of opportunities for personal enrichment, individual self-interest was not always focused on obtaining sinecures and financial windfalls. Instead, men like Henry Dundas were primarily focused upon amassing their own political power. In the inherently chaotic politics of the period, the self-seeking concerns of individuals like Henry Dundas, very quickly could, and indeed did, become the thread upon which the whole British political system turned. 2 Acknowledgments My thanks go first and foremost my supervisor, Dr Kit Candlin. His guidance, advice and expertise were vital in devising and writing this thesis, as was his unerring ability to ensure that I came away from our meetings enthusiastic about the task at hand. I would also like to thank Professor Robert Aldrich and Dr Lyn Olsen for their research seminars, both of which made me a better student and historian.
