Beschreibungen/Notizen
The present volume is a welcome addition to that Scottish literary criticism treating the long eighteenth century. Alex Deans on travel writing, Eric Gidal on ecological writing, and Michael Morris on "minority imperialist culture" provide modern critical context and remind us of a richness of potential scholarly reading unknown to those older critics stuck in the groove of one-dimensional Anglo-Scottish tension as definer of Scottish literature in the eighteenth century (300). Rightly, Holly Faith Nelson and Sharon Alker argue that the period 1660 to 1688 is more interesting in Scottish literature than often thought, while never really connecting this period to the eighteenth century proper.
