C. Stokes
Claudia Stokes, “Irving’s Literary Historiography” (pp. 195–222) This essay examines the importance of Washington Irving to modern disciplinary standards of historiography. Today, history and literature are distinct genres requiring different skills, but for centuries history was a recognized form of rhetoric readily available to writers, even those without special qualifications or training. This tradition of history writing proved important to Irving’s early career, and he found great success with his parodic A History of New York (1809). Decades later, he attempted to replicate that success with A Chronicle of the Conquest of Granada (1829), a history of Spain’s campaign to control Granada. However, in the intervening years, historiographical standards had begun to change: historians were now expected to conduct original research and adhere as closely as possible to recorded facts. In accord with these expectations, Irving conducted significant archival research, but he blended this research with literary forms and devices, which included a fictitious narrator and an invented manuscript source. Decades earlier, these devices had rendered A History of New York a success, but critics of Conquest of Granada took issue with Irving’s literariness and accused him of perpetrating a hoax. To nineteenth-century observers, this controversy demonstrated the dangers that literariness posed to history and affirmed the need to separate these two modes. The public response to Irving’s A History of the Conquest of Granada contributed to the modern professionalization of history and modern historiographical standards.

Gerard Lee McKeever, “Extreme Attachment: Allan Cunningham’s ‘South Countree’” (pp. 223–252) This article positions Allan Cunningham (1784–1842) as an extreme case of literary place-making in the first half of the nineteenth century. Cunningham lived from 1810 in London, where he became superintendent of the sculptor Francis Chantrey’s workshop. Yet over the following decades, he produced literary work that is remarkably consistent in its return to his native southwest Scotland and the Anglo-Scottish borders region, developing a longue durée imaginative geography through a rotating cast of characters, places, tales, and topoi. This work emblematizes a moment in the transformation of the long-eighteenth-century condition of “nostalgia,” or homesickness, which over the course of the nineteenth century became a patriotic virtue and—eventually—an aestheticized sense of the past. The article interrogates Cunningham’s overall literary career from a geographical perspective, before focusing in on two unfairly neglected later works: the long poem The Maid of Elvar (1832) and his final novel, Lord Roldan (1836). In general, Cunningham’s work performs regional attachment in such a precariously literary manner that it forces the reader to reckon with the imaginative quality of belonging. By the 1830s, however, it had reached an acutely self-referential phase, exercising and recycling a vocabulary of belonging that had been decades in the making.
Gerard Lee McKeever,“极端依恋:艾伦·坎宁安的‘南方伯爵’”(第223–252页)这篇文章将艾伦·坎宁安(1784–1842)定位为19世纪上半叶文学创作的极端案例。坎宁安从1810年起住在伦敦,在那里他成为雕塑家弗朗西斯·钱特雷工作室的负责人。然而,在接下来的几十年里,他创作的文学作品在回归他的祖国苏格兰西南部和盎格鲁-苏格兰边境地区时表现得非常一致,通过角色、地点、故事和地形的轮换,发展了一种长期的富有想象力的地理。这幅作品象征着18世纪漫长的“乡愁”状态的转变,在19世纪,乡愁成为了一种爱国美德,并最终成为了对过去的审美感。这篇文章从地理的角度审视了坎宁安的整个文学生涯,然后重点关注了后来两部被不公平地忽视的作品:长诗《精灵的少女》(1832年)和他的最后一部小说《罗丹勋爵》(1836年)。总的来说,坎宁安的作品以一种不稳定的文学方式表现出区域依恋,迫使读者考虑归属感的想象力。然而,到了19世纪30年代,它已经达到了一个强烈的自我参照阶段,运用和回收了几十年来形成的归属词汇。

T. R. Smith
Thomas Ruys Smith, “‘The Enchantments of Waverley’: Walter Scott and Children’s Reading in Nineteenth-Century America” (pp. 145–175) While the deep popularity and widespread presence of the works of Walter Scott in the cultural life of nineteenth-century America have long been acknowledged, one group of his admirers has been relatively neglected. The literary lives and reading habits of American children from this era remain obscure, and their influential, ongoing relationship with the Wizard of the North both before and after the Civil War has received almost no attention. This article therefore explores the vital, persistent, and shifting role that Scott played in the lives of literate young Americans. In the antebellum years, the enchantments of Waverley reshaped the literary landscape for children as Scott’s novels received parental approbation as legitimate sources of textual entertainment and historical instruction. After the Civil War, the generation of Americans who had grown up reading Scott in turn used their own position as cultural gatekeepers to try and kindle a love for his work among a new generation tempted by fresh literary sensations. The overlooked responses of young readers themselves are documented where possible here through correspondence, diaries, memoirs, and, particularly, the vibrant letters pages of children’s magazines.
