Beschreibung
A deconstruction of the national biography and mythology of William WallaceGBS_insertPreviewButtonPopup(['ISBN:9780748685639','ISBN:9780748685646']);Freed from the historian s bedrock of empiricism by a lack of corroborative sources, the biography of this short-lived late-medieval patriot has long been incorporated into the ideology of nationalism. It is to explain this assimilation, and to deconstruct the myriad ways that Wallace s biography has been endlessly refreshed as a national narrative, over many generations, that forms this investigation.William Wallace: A National Tale examines the elision of Wallace s after-life into narrative ascendency, dominating the ideology and politics of nationalism in Scotland. This narrative is conceptualised as the national tale, a term taken out of its literary moorings to scrutinise how the personal biography of a medieval patriot has been evoked and presented as the nation s biography over seven centuries of time. Through the verse of Blind Hary, the romance of Jane Porter, to the historical imaginations of Braveheart and Brave, Scotland s national tale has been forged.This is a fresh, engaging and timely exploration into Wallace s hold over Scotland s national mythology.
