Abstract

Abstract Published anonymously in 1814, Waverley; Or ‘Tis Sixty Years Hence is a historical novel by Sir Walter Scott which unfolds the story of a young English soldier, Edward Waverley, and his journey to Scotland. Regarded as the first historical novel, it contains elements of modernity, heralding a new upcoming era in England. Scott obviously displays the concept of the modern/modernity differently from the perception that writers are conveying today, but he hints at the emergence of a society detached from feudal customs in several aspects through the issue of union between England and Scotland. Highlighting the modern characteristics of Walter Scott’s Waverley, this paper argues that Scott employs elements of modernity in his novel long before their disclosure in literature and politics.

“对流亡者的殷勤和对暴君的断骨”:沃尔特·斯科特的《韦弗利》中的早期现代性
1814年匿名出版,韦弗利;《六十年后》是沃尔特·司各特爵士的一部历史小说,讲述了年轻的英国士兵爱德华·韦弗利前往苏格兰的故事。作为第一部历史小说,它包含了现代性的元素,预示着英国即将到来的一个新时代。斯科特所表达的现代/现代性的概念显然不同于当今作家所传达的观念,但他通过英格兰和苏格兰的联合问题,在几个方面暗示了一个脱离封建习俗的社会的出现。本文着重分析了沃尔特·司各特小说《威弗利》的现代特征,认为司各特在其小说中运用了现代性的元素,而这些元素在文学和政治上的体现要早得多。
