This book develops new insight into the idea of progress as
improvement as the basis for an approach to literary Romanticism in
the Scottish context. With chapter case studies covering poetry,
short fiction, drama and the novel, it examines a range of key
writers: Robert Burns, James Hogg, Walter Scott, Joanna Baillie and
John Galt. Improvement, as the book explores, provided a dominant
theme for literary texts in this period, just as it saturated the
wider culture. It was also of real consequence to questions about
what literature is and what it can do: a medium of secular
belonging, a vehicle of indefinite exchange, an educational tool or
a theoretical guide to history.
