摘要

摘要:本文分析了苏格兰西南部加洛韦的威格敦订阅图书馆1828年至1836年期间的一组未被研究的借阅记录。它描述了图书馆的背景和借阅数据的主要特征，包括发现41本沃尔特·斯科特的书占这一时期所有借阅的19%。著名的是，加洛韦为斯科特的《盖伊·曼宁》(Guy Mannering, 1815)提供了一个荒凉的背景;这些借来的数据使人们能够从另一个角度看待该地区及其对该地区的影响。这篇文章认为，威格敦图书馆的读者通过斯科特接触到了一个由“粗枝大节”描述的地区组成的庞大网络。

Reading Walter Scott on the Solway Firth: Books and Borrowing at the Wigtown Subscription Library, 1828–36

Abstract: This article analyzes a previously unstudied set of borrowing records covering 1828–36 from the Wigtown Subscription Library in Galloway, southwest Scotland. It describes the context of the library and key features of this borrowing data, including the finding that forty-one Walter Scott titles accounted for 19 percent of all borrowing in this period. Galloway famously provided the outland setting of Scott's Guy Mannering (1815); this borrowing data enables an alternative view of the region and his influence on it. The article argues that readers at the Wigtown library were encountering an expansive network of "thickly" described localities through Scott.

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.
