요약This dissertation proposes a new hybrid identity for eighteenth- and nineteenth-century poets writing in Welsh and Scottish Gaelic: Celto-Britishness. Celto-Britishness is an identity based on the intersection of Celticity and reactions to the expanding, Anglocentric, British state that was formed in 1707. Celto-Britons are those who consider themselves to be of a common Celtic heritage in the face of a British state based on Anglocentricity. This study works within an archipelagic framework, considering the work of Welsh and Gaelic poets together with a limited amount of supplied English-language literature. An archipelagic approach argues for the inclusion of literature from all cultures and languages to present a complete view of the whole.The "concentric loyalties" paradigm (first posited by T. C. Smout and updated by myself) - supposing that a multiplicity of identities can be present at the same time - is also important in this study. This helps discern the extent to which Celtic-language speaking poets think of themselves as simultaneously British, Welsh, Scottish, Gaelic, Celto-British, or a number of other identities.Eighteen poets - nine from Wales, and nine from the Gaidhealtachd - are the focus of this study but some supplemental poetry by other poets is also considered. The termina of this study are 1746 - after the Battle of Culloden - and 1826 - the date of Edward Williams's death (he is also known as Iolo Morganwg). Culloden is significant in that it marked concerted efforts to Anglicize the Gaidhealtachd and after this date the Gaidhealtachd came increasingly pulled into the British gambit. I have singled out Edward Williams as he was a huge contributor to the conceptualization of Celticity across Britain.The first chapter deals with the notion of "concentric loyalties," looking at material pertaining to the growth of Britishness and the ways by which Welsh and Gaelic poets interacted with it. This is examined alongside the history of the Wales-England Act of Union and the Scotland-England Act of Union and a look into whether the Welsh and the Gaels thought about each other - recognition of one another would suggest the presence of Celto-Britishness. The prominent figure of Britannia is also explored to show levels of loyalty to the British state.Chapter Two explores bardic identity in Wales and the growth of Celticity. Bardic identity, in essence, is the idea that poetry extant in the eighteenth century had its naissance with the druids in times of antiquity, the line of succession being unbroken. This chapter reviews how bardic identity presented itself in a Welsh context. Against this, is an exploration of Celticity. Celticity was born in the eighteenth century with the publication of Edward Lhuyd's Archaeologia Britannica (1707) and it is inextricable from bardic identity of the period. Chapter Three sets out to consider bardic identity in Gaelic poetry against the definitions found in that of Welsh poetry. Of course, Macpherson's Ossian (1760-1765) must take center stage and I assess how pervasive Macpherson's own version of Celticity and bardic identity was in relation to the Gaelic vernacular tradition.Chapter Four looks at poetry displaying connections to the military and the monarchy. The British state expanded into the Gaidhealtachd in the eighteenth century, and it is important to begin with a historiographical overview of Jacobitism to see to what extent it operated in Gaelic thought after Culloden. Welsh reactions to the French Revolution are also examined along with general views of the king and the Crown.What is clear from this study is that Celto-Britishness only existed with English mediation.
