Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scott's Waverley novels, as his fiction is collectively known, are increasingly popular in the classroom, where they fit into courses that explore topics from Victorianism and nationalism to the rise of the publishing industry and the cult of the author. As the editors of this volume recognize, however, Scott's fictions present unusual challenges to instructors. Students need guidance, for instance, in navigating Scott's use of vernacular Scots and antique styles, sorting through his historical and geographical references, and distinguishing his multiple authorial personas. The essays in this volume are designed to help teachers negotiate these and other intriguing features of the Waverley novels. Part 1, "Materials," guides instructors in selecting appropriate editions of the Waverley novels for classroom use. It also categorizes and lists background and critical studies of Scott's novels and recommends additional readings for students, as well as multimedia instructional resources. The essays in part 2 examine the novels' relation to Scottish history, Scott's use of language, and concepts of Romantic authorship; consider gender, legal, queer, and multicultural approaches; recommend strategies for teaching Scott alongside other authors such as Jane Austen; and offer detailed ideas for introducing individual novels to students�from imagining Ivanhoe in the context of nineteenth-century medievalism to reconsidering how the ethical issues raised in Old Mortality reflect on religion and violence in our own day.
Download or read book Electronic Text written by Kathryn Sutherland and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The electronic presentation of text has revolutionized the understanding and use of literary evidence. Formerly, readers and editors were obliged to choose one edition of a text in book form to work with and to treat other versions as ancillary. Now electronic editions of a text can incorporate all the various versions and revisions. This allows unconstrained access to a much greater range of information. This collection considers the role of computerized technology in contributing to the interpretation and editing of texts, from both practical and theoretical perspectives. The contributors investigate the ways in which the treatment of texts and the idea of a "text" are affected by current and prospective advances in electronic production and reproduction.
Download or read book Tropical Gothic in Literature and Culture written by Justin D. Edwards and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-01-13 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tropical Gothic examines Gothic within a specific geographical area of ‘the South’ of the Americas. In so doing, we structure the book around geographical coordinates (from North to South) and move between various national traditions of the gothic (Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, etc) alongside regional manifestations of the Gothic (the US south and the Caribbean) as well as transnational movements of the Gothic within the Americas. The reflections on national traditions of the Gothic in this volume add to the critical body of literature on specific languages or particular nations, such as Scottish Gothic, American Gothic, Canadian Gothic, German Gothic, Kiwi Gothic, etc. This is significant because, while the Southern Gothic in the US has been thoroughly explored, there is a gap in the critical literature about the Gothic in the larger context of region of ‘the South’ in the Americas. This volume does not pretend to be a comprehensive examination of tropical Gothic in the Americas; rather, it pinpoints a variety of locations where this form of the Gothic emerges. In so doing, the transnational interventions of the Gothic in this book read the flows of Gothic forms across borders and geographical regions to tease out the complexities of Gothic cultural production within cultural and linguistic translations. Tropical Gothic includes, but is by no means limited to, a reflection on a region where European colonial powers fought intensively against indigenous populations and against each other for control of land and resources. In other cases, the vast populations of African slaves were transported, endowing these regions with a cultural inheritance that all the nations involved are still trying to comprehend. The volume reflects on how these histories influence the Gothic in this region.

Download or read book Great Scott Picturing the Past Through the Waverley Novels written by Lillian M. Elliott and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With over two hundred years between the Waverley Novels and us, it is difficult to understand just what Walter Scott- Wizard of the North, Laird of Abbotsford, the Enchanter, the Great Unknown, and, of course, the beloved Author of Waverley- meant to the nineteenth century. Critical discussions about Scott and the literary and social contexts in which he lived abound. However, these extant studies ignore the numerous modes of visual reproduction that were influenced by or sought to replicate the Waverley Novels throughout the progression of the nineteenth century. Furthermore, what these creative endeavors have had to say about Scott as an author has, for the better part of a century, gone unnoticed- until now. This thesis seeks to legitimize Scott's role as an active force within the purview of popular nineteenth century visual culture. It is through this lens that the present study breaks new ground. I focus on the aesthetic principles that guided much of Scott's literary output and explore the subsequent morphing of his texts into a number of different visual media. Each of these derivative forms, I argue, has played an integral part in the collective understanding of Scott's works and can be useful in fleshing out the multiplicity of meanings that were once, or still are, attached to his fictional oeuvre. The three chapters that constitute the body of this thesis have been organized in such a way as to offer a profound sense of the different visual platforms that drive his legacy.
