A Research of the Invention of Scottishness through Scottish Ballad Opera

这项研究考察了1730年初在伦敦创作的一系列歌剧《S》，其中有苏格兰背景，重点是苏格兰民谣，如西奥菲勒斯·西伯的《帕蒂与佩吉》(1730年)或约瑟夫·米切尔的《高地集市》(1731年)。它表明，苏格兰歌剧民谣是在苏格兰启蒙运动的背景下通过苏格兰亲雅各布派知识分子产生的。

The research examines a seriese of ballad operas, produced in early 1730's in London, which has Scottish settings, focusing on the Scottish ballads such as "Auld Rob. Morris" or "Tweedside," in Patie and Peggy (1730) by Theophilus Cibber or The Highland Fair (1731) by Joseph Mitchell. It showed that the Scottish ballads operas were produced in the context of Scottish Enlightenment through pro-Jacobite intellecturals in Scotland.
