This is the second annual volume of Studies in Scottish Literature
to be issued in the new series, and the third in the new format.
Contributors come from the U.S., Australia, Scotland, and elsewhere
in the U.K. The volume opens with a tribute to the journal's
founder G. Ross Roy (1924-2013) by Carol McGuirk, followed by a
symposium of invited contributions and sections of full-length
articles, original documents, and reviews. This volume's symposium
is titled "Divergent Authenticities: Editing Scottish Literary
Texts." After an introduction giving background on Scottish
responses to changes in editorial theory, the symposium includes an
opening essay by Alison Lumsden on the relations of textual editing
to literary criticism, contributions by Tricia McElroy (on editing
Renaissance poetry), Gillian Hughes (on editing letters), and Ian
Campbell (on the special issues raised by a 20th century writer,
Lewis Grassic Gibbon), and a wide-ranging concluding commentary
from Ian Duncan. The much-expanded section of articles includes:
Theo van Heinsbergen on Seneca in Renaissance Scotland; Alex
Benchimol on the Scots Magazine in the 1730s and 40s; Kenneth
Simpson on Burns and Rhetoric; William Christie on the Edinburgh
Review and the early 19th century Knowledge Economy; Colin Carman
on Scott and Disability; John Gardner on the quashing of revolution
in post-Waterloo Scotland; Christi Di Frances on Stevenson; and
Scott Hames on the role of vernacularity in current literary and
political debate. The illustrated section of Notes and Documents
includes: a newly-discovered early manuscript source for Burns's
Patriarch letter; an unrecorded Scott letter about John Clare; and
the manuscript music for "The German Lairdie" that Burns sent to
James Johnson. The volume closes with a review-article by Holly
Crocker on a recent study of late medieval Scottish court poetry.
