The Scottish Invention of English Literature explores the origins
of the teaching of English literature in the academy. It
demonstrates how the subject began in eighteenth-century Scottish
universities before being exported to America and other countries.
The emergence of English as an institutionalised university subject
was linked to the search for distinctive cultural identities
throughout the English-speaking world. This book explores the role
the discipline played in administering restraints on the expression
of indigenous literary forms, and shows how the growing
professionalisation of English as a subject offered a breeding
ground for academics and writers with an interest in native
identity and cultural nationalism. This book is a comprehensive
account of the historical origins of the university subject of
English literature and provides a wealth of new material on its
particular Scottish provenance.
