This fascinating new study is about cultural change and
continuities. At the core of the book are discrete literary studies
of Scotland and Shakespeare, Walter Scott, R.L. Stevenson, Arthur
Conan Doyle, the modern Scottish Renaissance of the 1920s and more
recent cultural and literary phenomena. The central theme of
literature and popular 'representation' recontextualises literary
analysis in a broader, multi-faceted picture involving all the arts
and the changing sense of what 'the popular' might be in a modern
nation. New technologies alter forms of cultural production and the
book charts a way through these forms, from oral poetry and song to
the novel, and includes studies of paintings, classical music,
socialist drama, TV, film and comic books. The international
context for mass media cultural production is examined as the story
of the intrinsic curiosity of the imagination and the intensely
local aspect of Scotland's cultural self-representation unfolds.
