Nationalism and Desire in Early Historical Fiction analyses a
sequence of early-nineteenth-century British and American texts
from a perspective informed by Rene Girard's theory of triangular
of 'mimetic' desire. Jane Porter's The Scottish Chiefs , Sydney
Owenson's The Wild Irish Girl , Sir Walter Scott's Waverley , Old
Mortality , Rob Roy , The Pirate and Redgauntlet , and Fenimore
Cooper's The Last of the Mohicans and Lionel Lincoln are given
detailed new readings. General conclusions about the relationship
of desire and nationalism in historical fiction are proposed.
