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. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 606 $aEnglish literature$xScottish authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aScottish literature$xHistory and criticism 607 $aScotland$xIn literature 615 0$aEnglish literature$xScottish authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aScottish literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a820.9/9411 686 $aLIT004120$2bisacsh 702 $aCarruthers$b Gerard 702 $aMcIlvanney$b Liam 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996204515303316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to Scottish literature$92493201 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis 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
