Rewriting Scotland examines six of the most influential and cutting-edge contemporary Scottish writers as they redefine outmoded notions of Scottish identity. From Irvine Welsh's windows into Scottish youth culture in Trainspotting to Janice Galloway's examinations of the duality of female isolation and empowerment, this unique work reveals new explorations of Scottish gender politics, sexuality, voice, and self-awareness.

Cette édition d'Etudes écossaises souligne l'importance et l'omniprésence du phénomène de la réécriture en inscrivant la revue dans le cadre des recherches menées par le Centre d'études sur les modes de la représentation anglophone (CEMRA). Une nouvelle orientation du CEMRA adopte effectivement comme projet fédérateur l'étude des questions liées au thème de la canonicité et des phénomènes de réécriture qui en découlent. Dans ce numéro, les articles portant sur la littérature et le cinéma écossais cherchent à rendre compte du caractère mouvant du canon dans le temps, ce qui permet de souligner comment le texte canonique s'efface ou se voit dépassé au fil des époques ou, au contraire, s'affirme, se consolide ou se mue par le biais de réseaux intertextuels qui redynamisent le texte initial. Pour clore la revue de manière à pouvoir rendre compte de la diversité des recherches en cours en matière d'études écossaises, nous publions quelques articles suite aux communications présentées lors des congrès annuels de la SAES de 2010 à Lille et de 2011 (Paris 3, Paris 7).

Scotland is well known for its contrived cultural history. The efforts of many in the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth century to manufacture its imaginary past have been documented by scholars; authors such as James Macpherson, Robert Burns, and Sir Walter Scott are readily recognized for their influence in romanticizing and refashioning Scotland's history. However, critics have not yet fully documented the literary efforts to create a newly imagined Scottish history, particularly how varying versions of a united tradition are spread across genres, genders, and decades. My research considers how lesser-known Scottish authors, namely the poet Alexander Ross and playwright Joanna Baillie, in addition to understudied aspects of Scott's writings, have contributed to manufacturing a tradition and attempting to create a common understanding of Scotland's sense of its past. Drawing upon the scholarly work of Katie Trumpener, Leith Davis, Ruth Perry, David Buchan, and Ina Ferris, I formulate the term "female memory" to refer to synthesized ideas that women were the repositories of oral tradition and traditional balladry in eighteenth-century communities re-imagined in the works of Alexander Ross, Joanna Baillie, and Walter Scott. Scotland's cultural memory was created anew as these authors by drew upon gendered aspects of literature, mediating between a feminized oral tradition and a masculinized print culture. My close readings of these texts help us to understand how eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century literature attempted (sometimes successfully) to manufacture a unified image of a nation.

Traditional accounts of the Scottish Enlightenment present the half-century or so before 1750 as, at best, a not-yet fully realised precursor to the era of Hume and Smith, at worst, a period of superstition and religious bigotry. This is the first book-length study to systematically challenge that notion. Instead, it argues that the era between approximately 1680 and 1745 was a 'First' Scottish Enlightenment, part of the continent-wide phenomenon of early Enlightenment and led by the Jacobites, Episcopalians, and Catholics of north-eastern Scotland. It makes this argument through an intensive study of the dramatic changes in historiographical practice which took place in Scotland during this era, showing how the documentary scholarship of Jean Mabillon and the Maurists was eagerly received and rapidly developed in Scottish historical circles, resulting in the wholesale demolition of the older, Humanist myths of Scottish origins and their replacement with the foundations of our modern understanding of early Scottish history. This volume accordingly challenges many of the truisms surrounding seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Scottish history, pushing back against notions of pre-Enlightenment Scotland as backward, insular, and intellectually impoverished and mapping a richly polymathic, erudite, and transnational web of scholars, readers, and polemicists. It highlights the enduring cultural links with France and argues for the central importance of Scotland's two principal religious minorities--Episcopalians and Catholics--in the growth of Enlightenment thinking. As such, it makes a major intervention in the intellectual and cultural histories of Scotland, early modern Europe, and the Enlightenment itself.

There emerged, during the latter half of the eighteenth century, a reflexive relationship between shifting codes of legal evidence in British courtrooms and the growing fascination throughout Europe with the "primitive" Scottish Highlands. New methods for determining evidential truth, linked with the growing prominence of lawyers and a formalized division of labor between witnesses and jurors, combined to devalue the authority of witness testimony, magnifying the rupture between experience and knowledge. Juries now pronounced verdicts based not upon the certainty of direct experience but rather upon abstractions of probability or reasonable likelihood. Yet even as these changes were occurring, the Scottish Highlands and Hebridean Islands were attracting increased attention as a region where witness experience in sublime and communal forms had managed to trump enlightened progress and the probabilistic, abstract, and mediated mentality on which the Enlightenment was predicated. There, in a remote corner of Britain, natives and tourists beheld things that surpassed enlightened understanding; experience was becoming all the more alluring to the extent that it signified something other than knowledge. Matthew Wickman examines this uncanny return of experiential authority at the very moment of its supposed decline and traces the alluring improbability of experience into our own time. Thematic in its focus and cross-disciplinary in its approach, The Ruins of Experience situates the literary next to the nonliterary, the old beside the new. Wickman looks to poems, novels, philosophical texts, travel narratives, contemporary theory, and evidential treatises and trial narratives to suggest an alternative historical view of the paradoxical tensions of the Enlightenment and Romantic eras.
