Opis

This issue combines articles on Scottish literature with a special symposium section on "Spatial Humanities and Scottish Literature." Guest-edited and introduced by Michael Gavin and Eric Gidal, the symposium includes contributions on mapping Enlightenment Edinburgh (by Murray Pittock and Craig Lamont), on mapping Thomas Pennant's travels (by Alex Deans and Nigel Leask), on Scott's Redgauntlet (by Christopher Donaldson, Ian Gregory, and others), and on topic-modelling for exploring 18th- and 19th-century Scottish history and culture (by Gavin and Gidal). Full-length articles in the issue include: Colin Manlove, on George MacDonald's The Wise Woman; Jack M. Downs, on David Masson's State of Learning in Scotland; Gillian Hughes, on R. L. Stevenson's Weir of Hermiston; Timothy C. Baker, on Scotland's future as seen in recent speculative fiction. The issue concludes with a short note on Burns's "Written in Friar's Carse Hermitage" and with brief reviews or notices of sixteen recently-published books on Scottish literature. Founded in 1963, Studies in Scottish Literature was the first refereed scholarly journal in its field, and it remains a leading forum for scholarly discussion and research, in a field of growing international importance. Edited by Patrick Scott and Tony Jarrells, of the University of South Carolina, with the support of a distinguished international advisory board, the journal publishes articles on all periods of Scottish literature.
