It examines legal and material practices of inheritance and traces how the political and discursive implications developed of inheritance in discrete but parallel ways in both Ireland and Scotland since the "Glorious" Revolution, through the Jacobite Uprisings, the French Revolution, the Napoleonic Wars, and up to the Reform Act.Transits (Bucknell University)English fiction18th centuryHistory and criticismEnglish fiction19th centuryHistory and criticismInheritance and succession in literatureRomanticismGreat BritainIrelandIn literatureScotlandIn literatureEnglish fictionHistory and criticism.English fictionHistory and criticism.Inheritance and succession in literature.Romanticism823/.709Tessone Natasha1971-1699141MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814100503321Disputed titles4081156UNINA
