Building Scotland in Literature. Sir Walter Scott and Diana Gabaldon. Scottish Nation and Nationalism

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the evolution of national identity, this thesis examines the period from 1746 to 1832, highlighting the impact of the Jacobite Rebellion and the aftermath of the Culloden defeat. It explores how this pivotal moment not only quashed Stuart claims to the throne but also initiated a harsh campaign against Highland culture and the Gaelic language. The study further investigates the enduring influence of these historical events on contemporary mass media representations of Scottish identity.
