Synopsis

The papers in this collection offer new perspectives on Scottish early-modern literature and letters that invite the revision and expansion of previous selections of critical choices. They introduce less familiar writers and texts, investigating contexts and interrogating continuities of time, genre and culture. Moving across traditional disciplinary boundaries, they relate literature to the world of letters and the late-medieval to the Enlightenment, laying bare the outline of complex literary and cultural patterns that link courtly to popular, Gaelic to Lowland, Scotland to England as well as Continental Europe. The collection thus becomes more than the some of its parts and assumes conceptual importance, demonstrating that a view from the edge can be as informative and stimulating as one from the imagined centre.
