| সংক্ষিপ্ত: | This article will analyse to what extent the two weeks that George IV spent in Edinburgh in 1822 can be viewed as a “mythomoteur” (Smith, 1988a, p. 58), namely “a constitutive political myth” which triggered the construction of Scotland’s dual Scottish/British identity after the defeat of Jacobitism and the collapse of the Radical War. Such duality, celebrating both Scotland’s distinctiveness and its loyalty to the British crown, will be examined through four of the works which English painter Joseph Mallord William Turner produced on the occasion of the royal visit, when he was working for Sir Walter Scott as an illustrator of a new edition of Provincial Antiquities. |
