This book provides an in-depth examination of Scottish Romantic
literary ideas on memory and their influence among various cultures
in the British Atlantic, broken down into distinct writing modes
such as memoirs, slave narratives and emigrant fiction, and
contexts including pre- and post-Revolution America and
French-Canadian cultural nationalism. Scots, who were at the
vanguard of British colonial expansion in North America in the
Romantic period, believed that their own nation had undergone an
unprecedented transformation in only a short span of time. Scottish
writers became preoccupied with collective memory, its powerful
role in shaping group identity as well as its delicate fragility.
McNeil reveals why we must add collective memory to the list of
significant contributions Scots made to a culture of modernity.
