Romancing the Courtroom Anecdote: Henry Cockburn’s and Walter Scott’s Shared Historical Form
Abstract:Henry Cockburn’s memoirs borrow formal qualities from Walter Scott’s novels. Despite being a Whig political reformer, Cockburn represented as exciting and picturesque the very aspects of Edinburgh’s past that his reforms did away with. Examining how the form of Cockburn’s memoirs was at odds with their overtly stated politics demonstrates the polyvalent qualities of an anecdote book and refocuses Romantic literary studies on that no-longer-popular remnant of New Historicism: the anecdote. Likewise, Cockburn’s Memorials exemplify the kinds of moral, formal, and political negotiations by which authors mediated the late eighteenth century for their nineteenth-century readers.
期刊介绍:
Studies in Romanticism was founded in 1961 by David Bonnell Green at a time when it was still possible to wonder whether "romanticism" was a term worth theorizing (as Morse Peckham deliberated in the first essay of the first number). It seemed that it was, and, ever since, SiR (as it is known to abbreviation) has flourished under a fine succession of editors: Edwin Silverman, W. H. Stevenson, Charles Stone III, Michael Cooke, Morton Palet, and (continuously since 1978) David Wagenknecht. There are other fine journals in which scholars of romanticism feel it necessary to appear - and over the years there are a few important scholars of the period who have not been represented there by important work.
