Abstract

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.

法庭轶事的浪漫化:亨利·考克伯恩和沃尔特·斯科特的共同历史形式

摘要:亨利·考克伯恩的回忆录借用了沃尔特·司各特小说的形式特质。尽管他是辉格党的政治改革者，但考克伯恩将他的改革所废除的爱丁堡过去的方方面面表现得令人兴奋而生动。考察考克伯恩回忆录的形式如何与他们公开表达的政治观点相矛盾，展示了一本轶事书的多重品质，并将浪漫主义文学研究重新聚焦于不再流行的新历史主义残余:轶事。同样，考克伯恩的《回忆录》体现了各种道德、形式和政治上的谈判，这些谈判是作者为19世纪读者调解18世纪晚期的方式。

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.
