The dissertation analyses Walter Scott’s novel “Rob Roy” and his short story “The Two Drovers” exploring Scott’s use of the border crossing theme as a cultural, psychological, social and geographical concept. The review of literature touches the border theory and the meanings of border crossing, the theories of literary memory, the concept of fictional space and spheres, etc. The features of embedded narrative in the “Chronicles of Canongate” are described and applied to the analysis of “The Two Drovers”. The issues of Scottish patriotism and national character are discussed with reference to Highland and Lowland characters analyzing the depiction of the void between the spheres in “Rob Roy”. Conclusions are made about Scott’s use of the border theory in creating the concept of ‘Britishness’ and ‘inbetweeness’ thus preserving the Scottish heritage and identity.

 

KEYWORDS: Dissertation, Walter Scott, Border theory, Space theory, Britishness, Rob Roy, Chronicles of Canongate, The Two Drovers,
