Presenting original readings of canonical texts and fresh readings of neglected but significant literary works, this book traces the complicated role of social dancing in Scottish culture and identifies the hitherto unexplored motif of dance as an outwardly conforming, yet covertly subversive, expression of Scottish identity during the period. The volume draws upon diverse yet mutually revealing texts, from traditional dance and music to Sir Walter Scott and contemporary Scottish women novelists, to offer students and scholars of Scottish and English literature a fresh insight into the socio-cultural context of the British state after 1746.Scottish cultural review of language and literature ;Volume 23.Scottish literature18th centuryHistory and criticismCollective memoryScotland19th centuryFolk dancing, ScottishScotlandIn literature18th centuryHistory and criticismCollective memoryScotland18th centuryScottish literature19th centuryHistory and criticismScottish literatureHistory and criticism.Collective memoryFolk dancing, ScottishIn literatureHistory and criticism.Collective memoryScottish literatureHistory and criticism.820.994109033Stapleton Anne McKee1535180MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788087403321Pointed encounters3783203UNINA
