This book suggests an interpretation of the characteristic
qualities of Scottish and American literatures. Considering the
self-consciously different stance which sets them apart from
English literature, the author develops the constituents of the
'puritan-provincial vision': a particular way of looking at life
and man's relationship to what lies beyond himself. The book begins
with the writings of Calvin and culminates in detailed comparisons
of individual works of Scottish and American nineteenth-century
prose, questioning the literary and human consequences of this
vision through theological, philosophical, political and literary
contexts. This puritan-provincial vision is not exclusive to
Scottish and American literature so the features discussed here
will interest those concerned with other literatures written in
English.
