Explores cultural defence and revivalism in Scottish literature and
art The first book-length, interdisciplinary study on fin-de-siecle
Scotland Unlocks Scottish writers' and artists' participation in
neo-paganism, the occult revival, neo-Catholicism and japonisme
Informed by extensive analysis of under-explored archival
materials, such as the Papers of Patrick Geddes Richly illustrated
with artworks, photographs and ephemera As the Irish Revival took
shape and the Home Rule debate dominated UK politics, what was
happening in Scotland? This book reveals distinct but comparable
concerns with cultural defence and revivalism in fin-de-sie cle
Scotland, evident in the work of a number of writers and artists
including Robert Louis Stevenson, Patrick Geddes, Fiona Macleod,
Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Mona Caird, Arthur Conan Doyle, John
Duncan and various contributors to The Evergreen. Situating
Scottish literature and art alongside international developments in
culture, especially the rise of decadence, symbolism and Celticism,
Michael Shaw demonstrates the ways in which dissident fin-de-sie
cle styles and ideas supported and defined the Scottish Revival.
