Reassesses Scottish textual practice in the context of the natural
and post-natural landscapes Covers a range of the relationships
between landscape, literature, and culture Explores the lived
relationship between form, content, and consciousness Provides a
phenomenological study of the intertwining of self and world,
subject and landscape Landscape Poetics is an interdisciplinary
study that seeks to place Scottish writers in relation to their
landscape, by investigating how the self is entwined in place. By
examinining the writing and practice of particular modern and
contemporary authors in the light of environmental thought, the
study explores their lived, organic connection to the landscape.
Landscape Poetics presents an argument that the relationship
between author and world is expressed through the language of
vibrant and engaged experience. Shepherd, MacCaig, Jamie, Clark and
Finlay are seen as reinventing the perception of the landscape by
proposing that the subject is no longer involved in the act of
objectification, but is instead an embodied self that enters place,
perceiving it more fully.

This book addresses the poetics of space and place in Scottish
literature. Focusing chiefly on twentieth- and twenty-first century
texts, with acknowledgement of historical and philosophical
contexts, the essays address representation, narrative form, the
work of the poetic, perception and experience. Major genres and
forms are discussed, and authors as diverse as George Mackay Brown,
Kathleen Jamie, Ken McLeod and Kei Miller are presented through
theoretically informed, historically contextualized close readings.
Additionally considering the role of dialect and region in the
poetry and fiction of modern Scotland, the volume argues for an
appreciation of the cultural diversity of Scottish writers while
highlighting the overarching presence of a connection between self
and world, subject and place within Scottish literature.
