Scottish literature includes masterpieces in three languages - English, Scots and Gaelic - and global perspectives from the diaspora of Scots all over the world. This Companion offers a unique introduction, guide and reference work for students and readers of Scottish literature from the pre-medieval period to the post-devolution present. Essays focus on key periods and movements (the Scottish Enlightenment, Scottish Romanticism, the Scottish Renaissance), genres (the historical novel, Scottish Gothic, 'Tartan Noir') and major authors (Burns, Scott, Stevenson, MacDiarmid and Spark). A chronology and guides to further reading in each chapter make this an ideal overview of a national literature that continues to develop its own distinctive style"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a English literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Scottish literature $x History and criticism. 651 0 $a Scotland $x In literature. 700 1 $a Carruthers, Gerard, $e editor of compilation. 700 1 $a McIlvanney, Liam, $e editor of compilation. 830 0 $a Cambridge companions to literature. 856 42 $z Connect to Cover image $u http://assets.cambridge.org/97805217/62410/cover/9780521762410.jpg 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171229055049.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20130528010819.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F6C905F6C75B11E29B7FDF95DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
