"Slain Ye Shall Be": Eschatological Morality And The House Of Feanor In Tolkien's The Silmarillion, Ashley Anteau
Honors Projects
This thesis expands on existing research and analysis of the eschatology of J. R. R. Tolkien’s invented mythology, with a critical analysis of how it relates to morality and the overarching exploration of good and evil, primarily in The Silmarillion. By analyzing Tolkien’s medieval and spiritual influences, as well as Tolkien’s unfinished works published posthumously by Christopher Tolkien, it explores the effect of the relationship between morality and mortality on the emotional core of Tolkien’s work. It offers new insights into the text by engaging especially with the often overlooked story of the sons of Feanor, and how this story …

Studies in Scottish Literature
Traces the history of Ramsay commemoration, from the obelisk at Penicuik with an inscription from 1759 onwards, and successive attempts to identify actual settings for scenes and incidents in his ballad opera The Gentle Shepherd, in illustrations (notably by David Allan for the Foulis edition of 1788), other editions and memoirs, and competing contributions by the ministers of rival parishes to the Statistical Account of Scotland, giving particular attention to the roles in the "battle over Ramsay country" of two local landowners, Alexander Fraser Tytler (Lord Woodhouselee) and Robert Brown of Newhall; providing maps and illustrations to clarify …

'Compylit In Latin': Allan Ramsay And Scoto-Latinity In The Eighteenth Century, Ralph Mclean
Studies in Scottish Literature
Discusses the importance and pervasiveness of Latin, including original Latin verse, in early 18th century Scotland, among Jacobites and in Ramsay's Edinburgh circle, with attention to the work of Archibald Pitcairne, Thomas Ruddiman, and later Robert Fergusson; examines Ramsay's own Scots translations of Horace and his use of the Horatian tradition, and looks also at translations from Ramsay into Latin by Alexander Fraser Tytler; and concludes that Ramsay's Scots poetry "helped to maintain" a Scottish link "to the classical past, by presenting the works of classical authors to new and growing audiences in Scotland in a language which was accessible …
'Some Pastoral Improvement' In The Gentle Shepherd: Mediation, Remediation, And Minority,

'Some Pastoral Improvement' In The Gentle Shepherd: Mediation, Remediation, And Minority, Steve Newman
Studies in Scottish Literature
This essay shows how in The Gentle Shepherd Allan Ramsay engages in the complex work of "pastoral improvement" on an individual and national scale and foresees--to a point--how his work will be received in the decades and even centuries to come. After situating his work within the uprising of the Galloway Levellers, pastoral, and the early work of agricultural improvement, I consider how the concept of improvement shapes the reception of his work in the Linley-Tickell production of the 1780s--including a surprising appearance from the Shakespearean forger, William Henry Ireland--and the key role The Gentle Shepherd plays in "The Young …

Methodising Scots: The Cases Of Allan Ramsay & Thomas Ruddiman, Jeremy J. Smith
Studies in Scottish Literature
Examines the linguistic issues facing editors of two 18th century Scottish editors, Allan Ramsay and Thomas Ruddiman, in modifying or standardizing the language in earlier Scottish poetic manuscripts, arguing that "the editorial process is not—and never has been—“neutral” or “objective” but is rather a hermeneutic act constrained by contemporary conditions of publication and intended audience," and that Ramsay and Ruddiman, like modern editors, were "constrained in quite delicate ways by their historical setting."

Discusses the background, publication history, and significance of Allan Ramsay's poem The Fair Assembly (1723), about an elite dance gathering in Edinburgh, the social connections of its aristocratic patrons ("Directresses"), and its political and cultural implications, especially in connection with the continuing role of Jacobite and other anti-Whig and anti-Presbyterian sentiment in the nation's capital.

Mapping Changes To The Songs In The Gentle Shepherd, 1725-1788, Brianna E. Robertson-Kirkland
Studies in Scottish Literature
Examines the varying ways in which the songs in Allan Ramsay's ballad-opera The Gentle Shepherd were published between the 170s and the 1780s, noting variation in how particular songs were titled, in which songs were included and how they were placed within the dramatic text, in which tunes were used for which song-texts, and in how words were related to music in editions providing both. The discussion is supported by extensive tables and lists of 18th century Ramsay editions, and illustrated with transcriptions of the music in two editions. Concludes that the addition of the music in later editions served …
