This guide combines detailed literary history with discussion of
contemporary debates about Scottishness. The book considers the
rise of Scottish Studies, the development of a national literature,
and issues of cultural nationalism. Beginning in the medieval
period during a time of nation building, the book goes on to focus
on the 'Scots revival' of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries
before moving on to discuss the literary renaissance of the
twentieth century. Debates concerning Celticism and Gaelic take
place alongside discussion of key Scottish writers such as William
Dunbar, Robert Burns, Walter Scott, Thomas Carlyle, Margaret
Oliphant, Hugh MacDiarmid, Alasdair Gray, Janice Galloway and Liz
Lochhead. The book also considers emigre writers to Scotland;
Scottish literature in relation to England, the United States and
Ireland; and postcolonialism and other theories that shed fresh
light on the current status and future of Scottish literature. Key
