Is its experience and literature comparable to that of overseas postcolonial countries? Or are such comparisons no more than victimology to mask Scottish complicity in the British Empire and justify nationalism? These questions have been heatedly debated in the aftermath of the 2014 referendum on independence and amid a continuing campaign for more autonomy. Gaelic Scotland in the Colonial Imagination offers an introduction to the emerging field of postcolonial Scottish studies, assessing both its potential and limitations to promote further interdisciplinary dialogue. Accessible to readers from various backgrounds, the book combines overviews of theoretical, social, and cultural contexts with detailed case studies of literary and nonliterary texts. Silke Stroh shows how the image of Scotland's Gaelic margins changed under the influence of the emergence of the modern nation-state and the rise of overseas colonialism. 606 $aPostcolonialism in literature 606 $aCelts in literature 606 $aScottish literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aScottish literature$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aPostcolonialism in literature. 615 0$aCelts in literature. 615 0$aScottish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aScottish literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a820.99411 700 $aStroh$b Silke$0937754 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910213853903321 996 $aGaelic Scotland in the Colonial Imagination$92160692 997 $aUNINA
