本文试图拓宽学者理解浪漫主义历史主义的话语语境，以及司各特的《威弗利》小说在浪漫主义历史主义发展中的作用。将斯科特的《古物》（1816年）和《献给艾凡赫的书信》（1819年）与当时关于古物、埃德蒙·伯克和汉密尔顿夫人事件的口头和视觉话语进行对话，本文提出浪漫主义历史主义在定义和授权新的知识形式时对身体进行了训练。浪漫主义历史主义者认为，与过去相关并正确了解过去的能力取决于历史思想家的情感和性体质的男子气概。因此，这个时代关于不同形式的历史探究的合法性的争论，以及关于历史小说在历史领域的文化权威的争论，经常变成了关于其从业者身体的男子气概和情感的争论。
This essay attempts to widen the discursive contexts through which scholars understand Romantic historicism and the role of Walter Scott's Waverley Novels in its development. Placing Scott's The Antiquary (1816) and ''Dedicatory Epistle'' to Ivanhoe (1819) in dialogue with contemporaneous verbal and visual discourse over antiquaries, Edmund Burke, and the Lady Hamilton affair, the essay proposes that Romantic historicism disciplined bodies as it defined and authorized new forms of knowledge. Romantic historicists perceived the ability to relate to and know the past properly as dependent on the manliness of the historical thinker's sentimental and sexual constitution. Thus, the era's arguments over the legitimacy of different forms of historical inquiry, as well as over the historical novel's cultural authority in relation to the field of history, frequently became contests over the manliness and sensibility of their practitioners' bodies.
