ABSTRACT Chartist songs, and the movement’s culture more generally, have received growing scholarly attention in recent decades. This article uses a case study of the many Chartist songs written to the tune of Robert Burns’s ‘Scots wha hae’ to explore the ways in which Chartist songwriters participated in the reworking of radical culture and ideas taking place in the 1830s and 1840s. These Chartist versions of ‘Scots wha hae’ – new words to an old tune – engaged in a conscious and creative dialogue between the Chartist present and the radical past. As such, they are an ideal source for exploring continuity and change in nineteenth-century radicalism, a topic of sustained historical controversy since the 1980s. Rather than indicating continuity, these re-writes of ‘Scots wha hae’ reveal how the Chartists saw themselves as a new phase of radicalism, facing novel political and economic challenges, appealing to broader constituencies of nationality, class and gender, and foregrounding working-class, rather than gentlemanly, leadership. Moreover, the act of showcasing this plebeian musical creativity on a scale unmatched by previous radical movements illustrates Chartism’s commitment to songwriting as both a key form of democratic activism and an innovative challenge to the cultural hierarchies of Victorian society.
ABSTRACT Chartist songs, and the movement's culture more generally, have received growing scholarly attention in recent decades.本文通过对许多以罗伯特-伯恩斯(Robert Burns)的 "Scots wha hae "为曲调创作的宪章派歌曲进行案例研究,探讨宪章派歌曲作者如何参与 19 世纪 30 年代和 40 年代激进文化和思想的再创作。这些查特派版本的 "Scots wha hae"--老调新词--在查特派的现在和激进派的过去之间进行了有意识和创造性的对话。因此,它们是探索十九世纪激进主义的连续性和变化的理想资料来源,而十九世纪激进主义是自二十世纪八十年代以来持续存在的历史争议话题。这些对 "Scots wha hae "的改写不仅没有表明其连续性,反而揭示了宪章派如何将自己视为激进主义的新阶段,如何面对新的政治和经济挑战,如何吸引更广泛的民族、阶级和性别群体,以及如何强调工人阶级而非绅士的领导作用。此外,以以往激进运动无法比拟的规模展示平民音乐创作的行为,说明了宪章派致力于将歌曲创作作为民主活动的一种重要形式,以及对维多利亚社会文化等级制度的一种创新挑战。
