Christian Isobel Johnstone's Clan-Albin: A National Tale was
published in 1815, less than a year after Walter Scott's Waverley;
or 'tis Sixty Years Since enthralled readers and initiated a craze
for Scottish novels. Both as a novelist and as editor of Tait's
Edinburgh Magazine from 1834 to 1846, Johnstone was a powerful
figure in Romantic Edinburgh's literary scene. But her works and
her reputation have long been overshadowed by Scott's. In
Clan-Albin, Johnstone engages with themes on British imperial
expansion, metropolitan England's economic and political
relationships with the Celtic peripheries, and the role of women in
public life. This rare novel, alongside extensive editorial
commentary, will be of much interest to students of British
Literature.
