The volume is divided into two sections, the first addressing Thomson’s writings themselves, and the second the reception of his works after his death and their influence on later writers. The first section contains essays analysing the politics and aesthetics of Thomson’s major poems and also a reevaluation of Thomson as a heroic dramatist. The second section capitalises on the certainty felt by many in Thomson’s own century that the poet, especially through his most successful poem The Seasons, had won for himself an indelible fame. This volume provides a definitive reappraisal of his achievement for our own times. 410 0$aLiverpool English Texts and Studies, 35 607 $aScotland$xIntellectual life$y18th century 607 $aScotland$xIn literature 676 $a821/.5 702 $aTerry$b Richard 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782251803321 996 $aJames Thomson$93703209 997 $aUNINA
