Mediating Cultural Memory is the first book to analyze the
relationship between cultural memory, national identity and the
changing media ecology in early eighteenth-century Britain. Leith
Davis focuses on five pivotal episodes in the histories of England,
Scotland and Ireland: the 1688 'Glorious' Revolution; the War of
the Two Kings in Ireland (1688-91); the Scottish colonial
enterprise in Darien (1695-1700); the 1715 Jacobite Rising; and the
1745 Jacobite Rising. She explores the initial inscription of these
episodes in forms such as ballads, official documents, manuscript
newsletters, correspondence, newspapers and popular histories, and
examines how counter-memories of these events continued to
circulate in later mediations. Bringing together Memory Studies,
Book History and British Studies, Mediating Cultural Memory offers
a new interpretation of the early eighteenth century as a crucial
stage in the development of cultural memory and illuminates the
processes of remembrance and forgetting that have shaped the nation
of Britain.
