Looks at familiar Scottish writers (Walter Scott, John Galt) in new ways, while introducing less familiar ones (Anne Grant, Thomas Pringle). Brings Scottish Romantic literary studies into new engagements with other fields (such as transatlantic and memory studies). Opens up new dialogues between Scottish literature and culture and other literatures and cultures (for example, French-Canadian, Black Diaspora, Indigenous ). This book provides an in-depth examination of Scottish Romantic literary ideas on memory and their influence among various cultures in the British Atlantic, broken down into distinct writing modes such as memoirs, slave narratives and emigrant fiction, and contexts including pre- and post-Revolution America, French-Canadian cultural nationalism. Scots, who were at the vanguard of British colonial expansion in North America in the Romantic period, believed that their own nation had undergone an unprecedented transformation in only a short span of time. Scottish writers became preoccupied with collective memory, its powerful role in shaping group identity as well as its delicate fragility. McNeil reveals why we must add collective memory to the list of significant contributions Scots made to a culture of modernity. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a English literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Romanticism $z Scotland. 650 0 $a Romanticism $x Influence. 650 0 $a Collective memory and literature $z Atlantic Ocean Region. 650 7 $a Collective memory and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01744423 650 7 $a English literature $x Scottish authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00912167 650 7 $a Literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00999953 650 7 $a Romanticism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01100133 650 7 $a Romanticism $x Influence. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01100137 651 0 $a Scotland $x In literature. 651 7 $a Atlantic Ocean Region. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01723575 651 7 $a Scotland. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206715 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 830 0 $a Edinburgh critical studies in romanticism. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020209.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F15B98441DF111EDA8BEF4A423ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
