Abstract:
The year 1806–7 marked a critical juncture in British politics. The death in January 1806 of William Pitt, prime minister for nearly a generation, threw Westminster into disarray and brought the Foxite whigs into power for the first time since December 1783. For Scottish adherents of Pitt, the damage was compounded by the impeachment about to begin in April 1806, of Henry Dundas, Lord Melville, the kingpin of Scottish patronage at Westminster. For Walter Scott (1771–1832), who had just become famous after the publication of The Lay of the Last Minstrel (1805), this meant a last-minute journey to London in January 1806 to save a political appointment that would allow him to make literature his vocation. The death of Pitt and the vanquishing of Melville represented a personal catastrophe for the ambitious thirty-four-year-old Scott, and he moved quickly to secure the appointment about to be lost to him. My article looks at the negotiations of Scott, and more broadly those of Pitt's followers behind the scenes, as the All the Talents cabinet was being assembled and as Scottish patronage entered a new era after the fall of Melville. Scott proved to be a skilled negotiator at Westminster: he would eventually go on in 1822 to preside over the first visit of a Hanoverian monarch to Scotland. Culturally speaking, he was to take over where Melville had left off, and through his poetry and novels bring recognition to Scotland's role in Britain.

Abstract:
Computerized sentiment analysis based on the Dictionary of Affect in Language (Whissell, 2009) was employed to assess patterns in the employment of positive (pleasant) language in the journal kept by Sir Walter Scott between 1825 and 1832. The continuous portion of the journal (33 months) was modeled with a polynomial regression. Two major patterns were observed. In the earlier portions of the journal, significant seasonal variations were present, with more positively toned entries in the Spring/Summer and less positive ones in the Fall/Winter. In the later portions of the journal there were discontinuities most likely attributable to ill health; significantly greater emotional variability was noted with some of the least positive entries occurring at about the time when Scott was facing his final illness and just before he stopped making journal entries.

Full text
Abstract:
John Macrone (1809-1837) was a Scotsman who arrived in London around 1830 and became a publisher, in partnership with James Cochrane between January 1833 and August 1834, and independently between October 1834 and his death in September 1837. A friend of Dickens and Thackeray, he published Sketches by Boz and, posthumously, The Paris Sketch Book. One of his other projects was a life of Scott, which he began to write soon after the death of the novelist; but his book, chiefly remembered because Hogg wrote his Anecdotes of Scott for inclusion in it, fell under the displeasure of Lockhart, and was cancelled shortly before it was to have been published. A fragmentary manuscript, however, was recently discovered by the author of this thesis and has now been edited for the first time, together with a biographical study of Macrone, in which extensive use is made of previously unpublished and uncollected material.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the phenomenon of Sir Walter Scott's extraordinary Victorian popularity. Focussing on criticism of his Waverley Novels between 1832 - the year of his death - and the end of the century, the thesis plots the development and terms of Scott's eminence. An introductory chapter sets out principal areas of study, being followed by a section leading up to 1832. Then follow analyses of critical work on Scott by, respectively, Harriet Martineau, Thomas Carlyle, Walter Bagehot, John Ruskin, Leslie Stephen, Richard Hutton and Julia Wedgwood. The thesis concludes with an epilogic section covering critics of the late nineteenth century, including Frederic Harrison and Andrew Lang. In each instance the context of each critic's wider work figures prominently. The thesis contends that large elements of Scott's achievement received relatively little attention in Victorian criticism. These are Scotti,s Enlightenment interests in speculative history and detailed, almost sociological, methods of composition, as well as the 'experimental' character of his work. By contrast, much was made in criticism of what may be summarised as his 'health' and 'beneficial effects'. It is claimed that the construction of such consensual critical notions about the merits of Scott's very popular work had a great deal to do with the buttressing and underpinning of some Victorian attitudes. While these varied with critics' own preoccupations - and Scott's 'malleability' is remarkable - Scott's role was so significant in Victorian culture that his employment, within what was still a relatively eclectic and formally undisciplined critical practice, constituted significant ideological manoeuvring. Specifically, Scott's remit in Victorian criticism was most usually to represent and validate some kind of opposition to the present. This both excluded much of his achievement, and also narrowed the terms of his appraisal so as to permit a revealing coalescence of literary with social, political and even racial arguments. This thesis traces the increasing definition of such a pattern within Victorian criticism of the Waverley Novels.

Cette thèse vise à analyser quatre traductions du roman de Walter Scott Quentin Durward (1823) par le même traducteur, Auguste-Jean-Baptiste Defauconpret. Nous proposons de déterminer si ce traducteur est intervenu seul dans le processus de retraduction, si les trois versions françaises postérieures à la première traduction de 1823 sont de véritables retraductions ou de simples révisions, et si les modifications successives apportées à la première traduction vont dans le sens d’un rapprochement vers le texte source. La première partie de la thèse est dédiée, tout d’abord, aux concepts traductologiques, et plus particulièrement au phénomène de retraduction dont nous faisons l’état des lieux avant d’évoquer les théories de Brownlie et de Koskinen et Paloposki, puis d’envisager les raisons qui peuvent motiver une retraduction. Dans un second temps, nous abordons les contextes de la traduction, de l’édition et de la littérature au début du XIXe siècle. La deuxième partie de la thèse s’intéresse à Walter Scott, à Defauconpret et à l’œuvre dont les traductions sont analysées. Leur réception par la critique et par le lectorat est notamment évoquée.

We consider determining whether the translator was the sole participant in the retranslation process, whether the three French versions that followed the first translation of 1823 are genuine retranslations or mere corrections, and whether or not the successive modifications to the first translation are oriented towards the source text. In the first part of the dissertation, some translation studies concepts are proposed, particularly the retranslation phenomenon, of which we offer an overview, before we evoke the Brownlie and the Koskinen &amp; Paloposki theories, and the reasons why a retranslation can be envisaged. Secondly, we describe the translational, literary and publishing contexts in the beginning of the 19th century. The second part of the dissertation is dedicated to Walter Scott, Defauconpret and the novel whose translations are analysed. Their reception by the critics and the readership is discussed in particular. The analysis of the corpus follows in the last part of our work, in which we mainly study the footnotes and the scoticisms that represent characteristic features of Walter Scott literature

Abstract:
Cette étude se place dans le champ des études transatlantiques afin d’analyser les modalités selon lesquelles les romances historiques ont constitué une réponse aux exigences lancinantes de doter les États-Unis d’une littérature nationale dans la première moitié du XIXe siècle. Créé en Grande-Bretagne par Walter Scott, ce genre est repris et adapté par ses contemporains américains, en particulier James Fenimore Cooper, Washington Irving et Catharine Maria Sedgwick. Dans un premier temps, nous avons étudié la réception de Walter Scott et de ses Waverley Novels et leur impact sur le marché du livre américain. Une analyse, notamment, des journaux qui fleurissent lors du regain de patriotisme de l’après-Guerre de 1812, a permis de montrer que se côtoient alors panégyriques de Walter Scott et appels récurrents à l’émergence d’un « Scott américain ». C’est ensuite la réponse des auteurs américains que nous avons étudiée. S’ils adoptent certains codes génériques scottiens afin de répondre à la volonté nationale de mettre en scène l’Histoire américaine, Cooper, Irving et Sedgwick font de leurs romances historiques le vecteur privilégié d’une mise en valeur de la matière américaine : une Histoire riche en événements, des ancêtres à célébrer, un territoire national aux propriétés spécifiques, qui la mettront sur un pied d’égalité avec les nations européennes. Alors que les romanciers utilisent leurs œuvres pour promouvoir une nation américaine culturellement distincte, s’opère une recomposition générique. La romance historique se fait alors le lieu d’une mythogenèse pour l’Amérique via l’écriture d’une épopée nationale, qui permet de remonter les âges vers une temporalité indéfinie afin de fonder la Jeune République en une nation organique, digne de soutenir la comparaison avec ses homologues outre-Atlantique<br>This work, belonging to the field of transatlantic studies, analyses to what extend historical romances formed a response to the ongoing wish to provide the United States with a national literature in the first half of the nineteenth century. The genre, fashioned in Great Britain by Walter Scott, was taken up and adapted by his American contemporaries, and in particular, James Fenimore Cooper, Washington Irving, and Catharine Maria Sedgwick. The first chapter tackles the reception of Walter Scott and of his Waverley Novels, and their impact on the American book market. Our analysis in particular of the newspapers and periodicals that flourished in the surge of patriotism following the War of 1812, has enabled us to show that the panegyrics for Walter Scott stood just alongside the recurrent calls in the same pages for the birth of an “American Scott.” The response given by the American authors forms the second part of our analysis. As they appropriate some of the generic traits of the Scottian historical romance in order to comply to the nation’s wish for a portrayal of American history, Cooper, Irving, and Sedgwick use the genre to showcase the American matter – a history full of events worth narrating, ancestors worth celebrating, and a national territory with its own features – that would bring the United States on a level with the European nations. As the writers thus promote a culturally distinct American nation, the genre gradually morphs into a form of national epic. Through this mythogenesis at work in the writings under study, the United States are given a timeline that dissolves into an indeterminate temporality, thereby shaping the Early Republic as an organic nation, fit for contention with its transatlantic counterparts

Full text
Abstract:
Cette these etudie la representation de l'histoire et de ses mouvements, souvent contradictoires, dans huit romans ecossais de walter scott. En replacant ces oeuvres dans leur contexte esthetique et philosophique, elle montre que scott se situe au carrefour de deux modes de pensee, classique et romantique. La theorie de l'auteur apparait d'abord dans l'appareil de prefaces qui emprisonne ses romans. Tout en parodiant les formes litteraires traditionnelles, scott elabore une vision de l'histoire "ideale" qui se fonde sur les modeles de l'esthetique neoclassique. Mais l'histoire releve aussi de l'experience vecue, comme le montre le parcours du heros. Scott emprunte ici ses modeles a la philosophie empiriste ecossaise (notamment a hume) et aux sciences contemporaines. Dans ses romans, le paysage acquiert un statut nouveau : au sein de la nature, l'associationnisme vibratoire permet la remontee des souvenirs enfouis. Enfin, scott aboutit a une vision organique de l'histoire, en representant les echanges et la circulation qui s'operent dans le corps social. Le texte lui-meme devient d'ailleur un corps vivant, ou des echanges ont lieu entre l'auteur et ses "personae"<br>This study of eight of scott's waverley novels analyzes the representation of history and of its various movements. It replaces the works in their aesthetic and philosophical context, and shows that scott's thoughty is at the junction of classicism and romanticism. Through the numerous prefaces that frame his work, he develops a vision of "ideal" history which owes much to neoclassical aesthetic theories. But the hero's journey also shows that history is a field of experience, both for the traveller and for the author. Here scott's models derive from the scottish school of empiricist philosophy and the sciences of his time. In his novels, natural landscape acquire a new dimension. This is where associations (as analyzed by david hartley) take place and allow memories to resurface. Finally, scott gives an organic view of history, as he represents the circulation and exchanges that occur within the social body. The text itself becomes a living body where exchanges take place between the author and his "personae"

Abstract:
La culture populaire, celle de la paysannerie de l’Angleterre est présente, de manière diffuse, dans le roman anglais du 19e siècle. Cette étude examine les aspects multiformes des coutumes, superstitions et pratiques populaires dans le roman anglais, de Scott à Hardy. Après avoir défini, de manière théorique d'abord, puis à l'aide d'exemples précis, l'héritage culturel antérieur au 19e siècle, l'étude s'efforce de montrer comment Scott, les sœurs Brontë, George Eliot et Thomas Hardy emploient et adaptent cette culture populaire à leurs créations romanesques. L'imprégnation dans l'enfance et la jeunesse a familiarisé les écrivains à cette culture orale, aux contes, légendes et ballades. Dans l'oeuvre de Scott, il s'agit d'une exploration des valeurs anciennes d’Ecosse, des coutumes des hautes-terres, par exemple, dans le contexte global de la récupération du merveilleux superstitieux. Avec les sœurs Brontë, c'est le fantastique des contes et ballades, celui du surnaturel; avec la différence que là où Charlotte se préoccupe davantage de fantaisie, de fantasmagorie, Emily se tourne vers les superstitions et le merveilleux des ballades populaires. La seconde partie du travail porte sur George Eliot et Thomas Hardy comme écrivains régionalistes, tous deux traitant du folklore, le plus souvent local, qu'ils appréhendent selon leur sensibilité personnelle. George Eliot prend du recul par rapport aux rites et coutumes qu'elle ne renie pas, mais dont elle déplore le travestissement. Dans ses œuvres, rites et coutumes fonctionnent comme un discours, un langage servant à illustrer la théorie qui lui est chère de la communauté bien intégrée. Avec Hardy, l'on voit le folklore à l'œuvre. L'auteur emploie les divertissements dans leurs formes les plus variées pour enrichir la substance de ses œuvres romanesques. Danses, fêtes populaires et rites agraires, tout cela est présent dans ses œuvres. Le rapprochement de toutes ces œuvres nous amène à la conclusion que le roman anglais du 19e siècle repose sur une solide tradition de culture populaire ; et que sa genèse est indissociable de celle-là<br>Agarian popular culture is an important component of the nineteenth-century english novel. This thesis is an attempt to map out the manifestations of customs, beliefs and popular superstitions, in the english novel, from Walter Scott to Thomas Hardy. The first chapter of this dessertation deals with the cultural heritage. Next, follow the chapters on Scott, Emily, Charlotte Brontë, George Eliot and finally, Hardy who availed themselves of the popular culture they had known and observed, in order to give substance and depth to their fiction. Scott taps the customs, beliefs, of the scottish highlands aiming, in so doing, at the rivival of ancient popular culture. Whereas the Brontë sisters approach it differently. Charlotte is more sensitive to fantasay, fantasmagoria and mental issues ; Emily deals with the supernatural germane to the ballad tradition (fairies, ghost-lores, witchcraft and demonology). The second part of the dissertation reviews George Eliot and Hardy as regional novelists who explore the folklore and local customs of their respective midlands and dorsetshire. In george eliot's treatment, satire and irony take the lead over romanticism. In Hardy’s works one can observe the richness and depth of dorsetshire folklore : popular feasts, fair-grounds, superstitions, and sundry customs and beliefs are handled vividly. As a conclusion, the thesis states that the rise of the english novel is closely related to the genesis of folklore scholarship and popular culture

Full text
Abstract:
Le roman historique italien mineur connut un vif succès dans la première partie du dix-neuvième siècle. Comme dans les romans de Walter Scott, le décor de ces romans est constitué par la nature et les architectures, qui sont vues à la façon des romans "gothiques" anglais, en référence à l'esthétique "sublime" et au sensualisme. La narration connaît une fréquente division entre l'histoire et la fiction ; ce sont, d'une part, les personnages, d'autre part, le narrateur, qui confèrent une unité relative à ce récit fortement intertextuel, influencé par Manzoni, Scott, et les romans gothiques. L'intertextualité de ces textes n'est toutefois pas purement littéraire ; elle provient aussi de l'insertion de l'érudition historique, effectuée grâce à l'évocation d'événements, de personnages ou de mœurs historiques et au moyen de diverses opérations sur la source historique ; les infidélités à l'histoire sont fréquentes.

The intertextuality of these texts is not, however, purely literary , it also comes from the insertion of historical erudition, which is carried out thanks to the evocation of events, people or historical customs and through various processes on the historical source ; there are a lot of inacurracies to history.

Abstract:
Cette monographie invite à une étude de la pensée de la frontière chez Walter Scott (1771-1832) à partir d’une analyse textuelle détaillée de ses romans écossais — dont l’intrigue se déroule en Écosse, près des Borders ou de la faille frontalière des Highlands, principalement aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles autour de l’Union des deux royaumes anglais et écossais. Elle découvre un ensemble d’interactions entre les concepts de limite et de frontière en s’appuyant sur une stratégie particulière, élaborée par l’auteur, fervent opposant à tout manichéisme. Ce dernier fixe les frontières envisagées comme des limites, des bornes immuables et infranchissables, pour ensuite les déconstruire, c’est-à-dire les traverser, les déplacer et les brouiller avant de les dissoudre dans le but d’atteindre un état d’entre-deux parfait où les contraires s’unissent harmonieusement. Cette thèse permet de dégager une voie du milieu scottienne faisant de Scott un écrivain d’avant-garde pour son époque, et qui reste très novateur aujourd’hui encore, car il annonce bien des préoccupations postmodernes<br>This monograph is dedicated to the question of limits and borders in Walter Scott (1771-1832)’s Scottish novels — thus called because the stories are set in the Borders or near the Highland line mostly in the 17th and 18th centuries at the time of the Union between the two kingdoms of England and Scotland. A very detailed analysis of the texts of the novels helps us to discover a series of interactions between the two concepts of limit and border which are grounded in a particular strategy developed by the author — a fervent opponent to Manichaeism. He sets boundaries, seen as fixed and impassable limits, and then deconstructs them, i.e. has them be crossed, moved, blurred before dissolving them in order to reach a perfect in-between state where all opposites mingle harmoniously. This thesis enables us to define a Scottian middle way, which makes Scott an avant-garde writer in his own time, and still nowadays since he paves the way for many a postmodern concern

Abstract:
In 1832, John Macrone, junior partner in the publishing firm of Cochrane &amp; Macrone, wrote a life of his idol, Sir Walter Scott. The book was suppressed when Hogg's Anecdotes of Scott, which were commissioned for inclusion in it, met with Lockhart's displeasure, and Macrone moved on to found his own firm in 1833. His authors included Dickens, Thackeray, Moore, and Egerton Brydges, but his thriving business was cut short by his premature death.

Abstract AS Miss Tompkins has pointed out in her admirable study, The Popular Novel in England, 1770-1800, ‘during the years that follow the death of Smollett… the two chief facts about the novel are its popularity as a form of entertainment and its inferiority as a form of art’. In the first two decades of the new century the achievements of Maria Edgeworth, Jane Austen, and Sir Walter Scott greatly increased the prestige of prose fiction.

Abstract:
Abstract The ‘Scottish Enlightenment ‘ is the name given in recent years to the remarkable epoch which Dugald Stewart described as a ‘sudden burst of genius ‘ (1854: 551). Although it is difficult to give firm dates, it is commonly considered that the Enlightenment extended from the Act of Union (1707) to the death of Sir Walter Scott (1832) with the peak of its achievements occurring in the second half of the eighteenth century.
