Oaks, Serpents and Dandies: Pseudoaristocracy in Maria Edgeworth's Castle Rackrent and John Pendleton Kennedy's Swallow Barn
Does monarchy, on its part, contain nothing at all to recommend it? [Bolingbroke] says that he prefers a monarchy to other governments because you can better ingraft any description of republic on a monarchy than anything of monarchy upon republican forms. I think him perfectly in the right.Edmund Burke, Reflections on the Revolution in FranceSir Walter Scott … set the world in love with dreams and phantoms … with the silliness and emptiness of sham gauds, sham grandeurs, and sham chivalries of a brainless and worthless long-vanished society…. [In the South] the genuine and wholesome civilization of the nineteenth century is curiously confused and commingled with … the duel, the inflated speech, and the jejune romanticism of an absurd past that is dead, and out of charity ought to be buried.Mark Twain, Life on the MississippiIn a posthumously published sketch entitled ‘A Legend of Maryland’ (1871), John Pendleton Kennedy, Baltimore statesman and novelist, imagined as Irish the cultural foundations of his Southern home state. Kennedy, the son of a Scots-Irish immigrant father and a mother born into the Tidewater Virginia plantocracy, was himself a walking testament to how Irish culture blended with that of the Southern landowning classes in the antebellum South.
