The Selected Works Of Andrew Lang Volume 2: Literary Criticism,
History, Biography Edited by Andrew Teverson, Alexandra Warwick and
Leigh Wilson This is the first critical edition of the works of
Andrew Lang (1844-1912), the Scottish writer whose enormous output
spanned the whole range of late-nineteenth century intellectual
culture. Neglected since his death, partly because of the diversity
of his interests and the volume of his writing, his cultural
centrality and the interdisciplinary nature of his work make him a
vital figure for contemporary scholars. The volume demonstrates
Lang's central position in the literary culture of his day. It
includes the most important examples of his literary journalism,
his historical and his biographical writing. In these works, Lang
engages with the most important literary critical issues of the
period -- whether the novel is entertainment or art, the
professionalization of writing, the function of fiction and
criticism - and writes on some of the central literary figures of
the century such as Tennyson, Dickens and Zola. In his writings on
Scotland, history and biography too the selected work shows not
only the complexity and inter-disciplinary nature of his own
thought but illuminates contemporary debates on the nature of
genius, on national identity and on historical method. Key
Features: Unpublished archival material Critical introductions to
the major areas of his work Full explanatory notes Andrew Teverson
is Professor of English Literature and Associate Dean for the
Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Kingston University, London.
His research centres on the use and meaning of fairy tales, and he
has published both on the employment of them in contemporary
writing and on the historical development of the form. He is the
author of Fairy Tale (Routledge, 2013). Alexandra Warwick is
Professor of English Studies and Head of the Department of English,
Linguistics and Cultural Studies at the University of Westminster.
Her research is on Victorian culture, in particular the fin de
siecle. Leigh Wilson is Reader in Modern Literature in the
Department of English, Linguistics and Cultural Studies at the
University of Westminster. Her research focuses on modernism, on
the place of supernatural and occult beliefs and practices in the
late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and on the
contemporary British novel. She is the author of Modernism and
Magic: Experiments with Spiritualism, Theosophy and the Occult
(EUP, 2013).
