Critical apologist for the Stuart and Hanoverian dynasties? What are the political and cultural significances of place when Scott represents the instabilities generated by the Union? Scott's Novels and the Counter-Revolutionary Politics of Place analyses Scott's sophisticated, counter-revolutionary interpretation of Britain's past and present in relation to those questions. Exploring the diversity within Scott's life and writings, as historian and political commentator, conservative committed to progress, Scotsman and Briton, lawyer and philosopher, this monograph focuses on how Scott portrays and analyses the evolution of the state through notions of place and landscape. It especially considers Scott's response to revolution and rebellion, and his geopolitical perspective on the transition from Stuart to Hanoverian sovereignty"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Compromised authority and confinement in the fortunes of Nigel and Woodstock -- Governance and agency in Woodstock and Peveril of the Peak -- Oppression, justice and monarchy in Peveril of the Peak and The Heart of Mid-Lothian -- Landscaping justice, rebellion and dynastic failure in the Heart of Mid-Lothian, Waverley and Redgauntlet -- The royal presence as locale: Rehabilitating the Stuart and Hanoverian Monarchies -- Conclusion: Homecoming, return and journey's end. 600 10 $a Scott, Walter, $d 1771-1832 $x Political and social views. 600 17 $a Scott, Walter, $d 1771-1832. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01801529 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 650 0 $a Politics and literature $z Great Britain $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Literature and society $z Great Britain $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Place (Philosophy) in literature. 650 7 $a Literature and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000096 650 7 $a Place (Philosophy) in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01064981 650 7 $a Political and social views. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353986 650 7 $a Politics and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069960 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Napton, Dani, author. $t Scott's novels and the counter-revolutionary politics of place $d Leiden ; Boston : Brill/Rodopi, [2018] $z 9789004352780 $w (DLC) 2018028953 830 0 $a Scottish cultural review of language and literature ; $v v. 27. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619010446.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=49628AAE2E0111EFA856D47D28ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
