Scotland and the Nineteenth Century World

Carruthers, G. , Goldie, D. and Renfrew, A. (Eds.) (2012) Scotland and the Nineteenth Century World. Series: Scottish cultural review of language and literature. Rodopi: Amsterdam. ISBN 9789042035621

Abstract

The nineteenth century is often read as a time of retreat and diffusion in Scottish literature under the overwhelming influence of British identity. Scotland and the 19th-Century World presents Scottish literature as altogether more dynamic, with narratives of Scottish identity working beyond the merely imperial. This collection of essays by leading international scholars highlights Scottish literary intersections with North America, Asia, Africa and Europe. James Macpherson, Francis Jeffrey, Walter Scott, Robert Louis Stevenson and John Davidson feature alongside other major literary and cultural figures in this groundbreaking volume.
