Scottish literature in diaspora -- Gerard Carruthers; Index.Scotland's rich literary tradition is a product of its unique culture and landscape, as well as of its long history of inclusion and resistance to the United Kingdom. Scottish literature includes masterpieces in three languages - English, Scots and Gaelic - and global perspectives from the diaspora of Scots all over the world. This Companion offers a unique introduction, guide and reference work for students and readers of Scottish literature from the pre-medieval period to the post-devolution present. Essays focus on key periods and movements (the Scottish Enlightenment, Scottish Romanticism, the Scottish Renaissance), genres (the historical novel, Scottish Gothic, 'Tartan Noir') and major authors (Burns, Scott, Stevenson, MacDiarmid and Spark). A chronology and guides to further reading in each chapter make this an ideal overview of a national literature that continues to develop its own distinctive style.Cambridge companions to literature.English literatureScottish authorsHistory and criticismScottish literatureHistory and criticismScotlandIn literatureEnglish literatureScottish authorsHistory and criticism.Scottish literatureHistory and criticism.820.9/9411LIT004120bisacshCarruthers GerardMcIlvanney LiamUkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK996204515303316The Cambridge companion to Scottish literature2493201UNISAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
