Unveiling Lady Scott: Walter Scott, French Influence and Transcultural Connections (Elements in Eighteenth-Century Connections)

Céline Sabiron

4.9/5 (24808 ratings)

Description:This book sheds new light on Walter Scott's work by investigating the French influence of his wife, Charlotte Charpentier, later Lady Scott, through her transcultural upbringing and international connections. Much of the limited information about her is tainted by misconceptions from predominantly British male biographers of Scott, whose perspectives were centred on the great man and coloured by anti-French sentiment during the revolutionary period.Through new French and British public records, historical archives, annual registers, and personal materials like letters and diaries from the Scotts' family and social circles, Unveiling Lady Scot corrects false allegations and highlights her significant, yet largely unrecognised, behind-the-scenes social and literary influence on Scott's writing. By analysing these sources and conducting in-depth readings of Scott's texts, the book emphasises Scott's collaborative literary approach and argues that Lady Scott, a knowledgeable art and literature enthusiast, greatly assisted him in his work as his secretary, amanuensis, and proofreader.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
