Walter Scott’s Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border as focus for Literary, Musical, Historical, Critical and Cultural Analysis

斯科特的《苏格兰边境吟游诗人》是一部复杂的作品它不仅呈现了大约一百首诗歌和歌曲，而且还详细阐述了民谣叙事的背景在长篇文章中，关于历史和童话传统，通俗文学和当代作家的手法他们对民谣的模仿做出了贡献。这种多样性提出了一个挑战，只有对牧师及其背景进行全面的重新审视，才能令人满意地解决这个挑战。编辑西格丽德·里沃茨（Sigrid Rieuwerts）和她的同事们将致力于把最近的民谣学术研究成果和当前对识字、道德和文化记忆的见解与作品的内容联系起来，并阐明“印刷民谣”和“歌唱民谣”的文化环境。因此，本版本将尽可能包括民谣曲调，并评估双重传统的两个部分-文学和古物发酵，围绕斯科特的创作天才和文化记忆，将民谣代代相传。通过对斯科特一生中《吟游诗人》在德国的接受和翻译的研究，将特别考虑其对德国的影响。我们还致力于创建一个用户友好的网站，包含视觉图像、民谣表演的音频文件、语境讨论和评论。我们21世纪对斯科特的《吟游诗人》的研究不仅将确保苏格兰文学中重要文本之一的第一个历史批判版本，而且将为未来在媒体和教育中的应用奠定基础。

Scott's Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border is a complex work which not only presents about a hundred poems and songs but which also elaborates the background to the ballad narratives in extended essays on history and fairy tradition, popular literature and the modus operandi of contemporary authors who contributed ballad imitations.This diversity offers a challenge which can be satisfactorily met only by mounting a full - scale re-examination of the Minstrelsy and its context. The editor, Sigrid Rieuwerts, and her associates, will aim to bring the results of recent ballad scholarship and current insights on literacy, morality and cultural memory to bear on the contents of the work, and also to illuminate the cultural milieu in which the "ballads in print" and "ballads as sung" had their life. This edition will therefore include ballad tunes wherever possible and evaluate both parts of a double tradition - the literary and antiquarian ferment that surrounded Scott's creative genius and the cultural memory that transmitted the ballads from generation to generation. Special consideration will be given to the impact of the Minstrelsy in Germany through the study of its reception and translation during Scott's lifetime. We also aim to create a user-friendly website, containing visual images, audio files of ballad performances, contextual discussion and commentary. Our 21st-century approach to Scott's Minstrelsy will not only secure the first historical critical edition of one of the key texts in Scottish literature but will also lay the foundation for future use in media and education.
