| 520 | 3 | |a Between 1745 and 1900 the meaning associated with the wearing of the kilt shifted. This thesis examines the period after the Jacobite Revolts of 1745 when the British banned civilian use of the kilt, to the Victorian age when the kilt was widely appropriated. Specifically, this thesis argues that British discourse helped shape how the use of the kilt reflected contemporary ideas of British manliness and constructions of race within Britain. Further, this thesis argues that the kilt began as a form of menswear invented for easy utility of manual laborers, then became a marker of Scottish Nationalist identity in the mid eighteenth century, and then during the Victorian era it was adopted as a signifier of a larger British military imperial identity. Crucially, by the end of the Victorian era, British media became increasingly concerned that Continental Europeans viewed the kilt as primitive instead of as an indicator of military power. | |
