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.

Download or read book Picturing Scotland through the Waverley Novels written by Richard J. Hill and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innovative and accessibly written, Picturing Scotland examines the genesis and production of the first author-approved illustrations for Sir Walter' Scott's Waverley novels in Scotland. Consulting numerous neglected primary sources, Richard J. Hill demonstrates that Scott, usually seen as disinterested in the mechanics of publishing, actually was at the forefront of one of the most innovative publishing and printing trends, the illustrated novel. Hill examines the historical precedents, influences, and innovations behind the creation of the illustrated editions, tracking Scott's personal interaction with the mechanics of the printing and illustration process, as well as Scott's opinions on visual representations of literary scenes. Of particular interest is Scott's relationships with William Allan and Alexander Nasmyth, two important early nineteenth-century Scottish artists. As the first illustrators of the Waverley novels, their work provided a template for one of the more lucrative publishing phenomena. Informed by meticulous close readings of Scott's novels and augmented by a bibliographic catalogue of illustrations, Picturing Scotland is an important contribution to Scott studies, the development of the illustrated novel, and publishing history.

"Masterful…Evocative and moving." —NPR For twenty-five years, a reclusive American novelist has been writing at the desk she inherited from a young Chilean poet who disappeared at the hands of Pinochet’s secret police; one day a girl claiming to be the poet’s daughter arrives to take it away, sending the writer’s life reeling. Across the ocean, in the leafy suburbs of London, a man caring for his dying wife discovers, among her papers, a lock of hair that unravels a terrible secret. In Jerusalem, an antiques dealer slowly reassembles his father’s study, plundered by the Nazis in Budapest in 1944. Connecting these stories is a desk of many drawers that exerts a power over those who possess it or have given it away. As the narrators of Great House make their confessions, the desk takes on more and more meaning, and comes finally to stand for all that has been taken from them, and all that binds them to what has disappeared. Great House is a story haunted by questions: What do we pass on to our children and how do they absorb our dreams and losses? How do we respond to disappearance, destruction, and change? Nicole Krauss has written a soaring, powerful novel about memory struggling to create a meaningful permanence in the face of inevitable loss. "This is a novel about the long journey of a magnificent desk as it travels through the twentieth century from one owner to the next. It is also a novel about love, exile, the defilements of war, and the restorative power of language." —National Book Award citation
