Abstract

Abstract:This article explores Scott’s defense of “caricature” in the Novelist’s Library edition of Smollett’s novels and in the Magnum Opus editions of Ivanhoe, The Monastery, and The Talisman. I argue that fantastic and satirically rendered characters legible as “caricatures,” such as Sir Piercie Shafton, could represent the future of historical romance. My focus on what caricature meant to Scott, his readers, and readers of old and new novels in the early nineteenth century, suggests the potential of looking beyond satirical prints and graphic portraiture in an effort to understand caricature’s broader significance in the literary culture of the Romantic period.

沃尔特·斯科特与小说漫画的未来

摘要：本文探讨了斯科特在斯莫列特小说的小说家图书馆版以及《艾芬豪》、《修道院》和《塔利斯曼》的大作本中对“漫画”的辩护。我认为，像皮尔西·沙夫顿爵士（Sir Piercie Shafton）这样的神奇而讽刺的人物可以被解读为“漫画”，可以代表历史浪漫的未来。我关注漫画对斯科特、他的读者以及19世纪初新旧小说的读者意味着什么，这表明有可能超越讽刺版画和平面肖像画，努力理解漫画在浪漫主义时期文学文化中的更广泛意义。

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.
