Interrogates the Gothic in relation to Scotland, 'Scottishness',
British Gothic, cultural and national boundaries, and issues of
identity Written from various critical standpoints by
internationally renowned scholars, Scottish Gothic: An Edinburgh
Companion interrogates the ways in which the concepts of the Gothic
and Scotland have intersected and been manipulated from the
mid-eighteenth century to the present day. This interdisciplinary
collection is the first ever published study to investigate the
multifarious strands of Gothic in Scottish fiction, poetry, theatre
and film. Its contributors -- all specialists in their fields --
combine an attention to socio-historical and cultural contexts with
a rigorous close reading of works, both classic and lesser known,
produced between the eighteenth and twenty-first centuries. Key
Features Offers the first critical collection devoted to the topic
of the Scottish Gothic as it is manifested across centuries
Re-ignites ongoing debates about the relationship between Scotland
and the Gothic, Scotland and Romanticism, Scotland and the
Enlightenment, and the role of the Gothic in relation to national
identity issues Considers issues of religion, politics, history,
and culture/cultural identity in Scottish Gothic texts across
centuries against the backdrop of the Act of Union and the process
of devolution/independence Presents fresh readings of established,
overlooked, and recent Scottish Gothic works across a variety of
cultural and literary forms
