这部作品将18世纪末19世纪初不列颠及其帝国的文学史和思想史联系在一起,重新描绘了文化民族主义的起源、小说的谱系和英语世界的文学史。在18世纪后期,爱尔兰、苏格兰和威尔士的古物学者用民族主义的观点来回应现代化和解析化运动,主张保存文化。尤其是对英国启蒙运动对盖尔口头传统的蔑视,他们在吟游诗人的符号下调和了民族历史和文学史。他们对民族史和文学史的开创性模式,他们对国家景观的新解读方式,以及他们对传统和文化传播的辩论,形成了一系列新的小说体裁,从哥特式和感伤小说,到民族主义故事和历史小说。在爱尔兰和苏格兰,这些体裁被用来建立民族主义论点,主张文化专一性,反对“内部殖民”;然而,一旦输出到整个帝国,它们也构成了加拿大、澳大利亚和英属印度的第一部殖民小说的基础,这些小说不仅被用来攻击帝国主义,也被用来为帝国计划辩护。
This work links the literary and intellectual history of Britain and its Empire during the late-18th and early-19th centuries to redraw the picture of the origins of cultural nationalism, the lineages of the novel and the literary history of the English-speaking world. During the late-18th century, antiquaries in Ireland, Scotland and Wales answered modernization and anliciziation inititatives with nationalist arguments for cultural preservation. Responding in particular to Englightenment dismissals of Gaelic oral traditions, they reconceived national and literary history under the sign of the bard. Their path-breaking models of national and literary history, their new way of reading national landscapes and their debates about tradition and cultural transmission shaped a succession of new novelistic genres, from Gothic and sentimental fiction, to the nationalist tale and the historical novel. In Ireland and Scotland, these genres were used to mount nationalist arguments for cultural specificity and against "internal colonization"; yet, once exported throughout the Empire, they also formed the basis of the first colonial fiction of Canada, Australia and British India, used not only to attack imperialism, but also to justify the imperial project.
