ERSKINE : Mapping the Scottish Gaelic Revival at the Fin de Siècle: Ruaraidh Erskine of Mar and His Networks

鲁阿赖德·埃尔斯金（Ruaraidh Erskine of Mar，1869-1960年）是一位有影响力的活动家、作家和编辑，深入参与了世纪末的文化和政治变迁，以及与苏格兰独立和盖尔语复兴有关的倡议。我的项目将探讨五个期刊-上午吟游诗人（《诗人》，1901-1902，月刊），Guth na Bliadhna（《年度之声》，1904-1925年，季刊），阿尔巴（《苏格兰》，1908-1909年，周刊），安·斯格莱切（“说书人”，1909-1910年每月，1911年季刊），和一个Rosarnach（“玫瑰园”，1917年，1918年，1921年，1930年，每年）-在其生产和接收的背景下。这些期刊吸引了当地作家和国际撰稿人的网络，在现代盖尔文学和新闻的创作中发挥了重要作用，并结合了世界观，政治激进主义和大众诉求。由于他们对其他凯尔特国家和欧洲的发展持续感兴趣，以及关于改革和促进盖尔文化的进步思想，他们成为国际合作的中心和创意产业的根源，因为他们鼓励了第一部盖尔小说的出现，并支持了盖尔戏剧的发展。近几十年来，盖尔语文学研究领域总体上一直在大幅增长，但对一些最有影响力的人物和趋势的研究仍然很少或根本没有发表。然而，对埃尔斯金本人的研究很少，也没有对他创立和经营的盖尔语期刊进行重点研究，以及对他的贡献者，这使得我的项目及时和相关，考虑到英国退欧后苏格兰和苏格兰在欧洲的盖尔语讨论。

Ruaraidh Erskine of Mar (1869-1960) was an influential activist, author, and editor, deeply involved in the cultural and political flux at the fin-de-siecle and in initiatives related to Scottish independence and revitalisation of Gaelic. My project will explore the five periodicals - Am Bard ("The Poet", 1901-1902, monthly), Guth na Bliadhna ("The Year's Voice", 1904-1925, quarterly), Alba ("Scotland", 1908-1909, weekly), An Sgeulaiche ("The Storyteller", 1909-1910 monthly, 1911 quarterly), and An Rosarnach ("The Rose Garden", 1917, 1918, 1921, 1930, annual) - in the context of their production and reception. The periodicals attracted a network of local writers and international contributors, were instrumental in the creation of modern Gaelic literature and journalism and combined a cosmopolitan outlook, political radicalism, and popular appeal. With their sustained interest in developments in other Celtic countries and in Europe, and progressive ideas about reforming and promoting Gaelic culture, they served as hubs of international cooperation and roots of creative industries, as they encouraged the emergence of the first Gaelic novels and supported the development of Gaelic drama. In recent decades, the field of Gaelic literary studies in general has been growing substantially, but there is still little or no published research on some of the most influential figures and trends. However, there has been very little research on Erskine himself and no focused research on the Gaelic periodicals which he founded and ran, and on his contributors, which makes my project timely and relevant, given the current discussions of Gaelic in Scotland and Scotland in Europe after Brexit.
