Book excerpt: James Hogg, a Scottish writer, was the founder of the psychological novel.

Book Synopsis James Hogg and the Literary Marketplace by : Holly Faith Nelson
Download or read book James Hogg and the Literary Marketplace written by Holly Faith Nelson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-14 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Responding to the resurgence of interest in the Scottish working-class writer James Hogg, Sharon Alker and Holly Faith Nelson offer the first edited collection devoted to an examination of the critical implications of his writings and their position in the Edinburgh and London literary marketplaces. Writing during a particularly complex time in Scottish literary history, Hogg, a working shepherd for much of his life, is seen to challenge many of the aesthetic conventions adopted by his contemporaries and to anticipate many of the concerns voiced in discussions of literature in recent years. While the essays privilege Hogg's primary texts and read them closely in their immediate cultural context, the volume's contributors also introduce relevant research on oral culture, nationalism, transnationalism, intertextuality, class, colonialism, empire, psychology, and aesthetics where they serve to illuminate Hogg's literary ingenuity as a working-class writer in Romantic Scotland.

Book Synopsis Who Made the Scottish Enlightenment? by : Colin Russell
Download or read book Who Made the Scottish Enlightenment? written by Colin Russell and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-10-29 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Scottish Enlightenment is often portrayed as elitist and Edinburgh based with no universally agreed beginning or end. Additionally, the Philosophers and scholars (the great Scottish Enlightenment figures) sometimes obscure significant contributions from other disciplines so that the achievements of a wider conception of the Scottish Enlightenment are not universally known. Sir Walter Scott also recognised that his nation the peculiar features of whose manners and character are daily melting and dissolving into that of her sister and ally had an identity crisis. Both issues are addressed in this enquiry which seeks to highlight the scale and breadth of the Scottish Enlightenment whilst posing the question as to how Scottish identity can be preserved.

Book Synopsis Fictions and Fakes by : Margaret Russett
Download or read book Fictions and Fakes written by Margaret Russett and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-02-02 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: British Romantic literature descends from a line of impostors, forgers and frauds. Through a series of case-studies - beginning with the golden age of forgery in the late eighteenth century and continuing through canonical Romanticism and its aftermath - Margaret Russett demonstrates how Romantic writers distinguished their fictions from the fakes surrounding them. The book examines canonical and lesser-known Romantic works alongside fakes such as Thomas Chatterton's medieval poems and 'Caraboo', the impostor-princess. Through original readings of works by Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Walter Scott, John Clare, and James Hogg, as well as chapters on impostors in popular culture, Russett's interdisciplinary and wide-ranging study offers a major reinterpretation of Romanticism and its continuing influence today.

Download or read book Malcolm written by George MacDonald and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2023-11-24 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an incredible love story about Malcolm, Scottish fisherman who is enchanted by a strong-willed, daring girl whom he dares not to love until he learns a shocking secret about her. Malcolm is not scared of those who hold a higher social position in the culture of captivity, nor does he think himself above the poorest citizen. He is untouched by the small-town pettiness because he prospers under the care of his old grandfather. This historical romance is a well-written tale packed with mystery, fantasy, moralizing, and wonderfully depicted characters, set in the Victorian era. The story gives us a picture of passion and integrity that is exceptional; it takes frequent turns and carries the reader, with Malcolm, through misfortune and joy. The author used imagination as a literary medium for examining the human condition.
Book Synopsis SIR GIBBIE & DONAL GRANT: The Baronet's Song and The Shepherd's Castle (Adventure Classic) by : George MacDonald
Download or read book SIR GIBBIE & DONAL GRANT: The Baronet's Song and The Shepherd's Castle (Adventure Classic) written by George MacDonald and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2023-12-06 with total page 833 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: "SIR GIBBIE & DONAL GRANT: The Baronet's Song and The Shepherd's Castle (Adventure Classic)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. "Sir Gibbie"- The novel follows Sir Gibbie on his adventures through the moors of Scotland's Highlands. Having no mother and an alcoholic father, Gibbie must survive on the streets as a child unable to read or speak. It is notable for its Doric dialogue, but has been criticized, especially by members of the Scottish Renaissance, for being part of the kailyard movement. Despite this, there are far more who claim the book paints a fair view of urban as well as rural life. The book doesn't seem to dwell as long on physical geography as it does on the spiritual geography of the soul. "Donal Grant" is the sequel to Sir Gibbie and it follows the steps of Gibbie's friend Donald as he tries to find a place for himself in the world. He manages to become a tutor to the son of an Earl. During his service he solves the mystery of the castle's lost room and, in the meanwhile, gets the interest of the earl's niece, who finds himself a special kind of person. George MacDonald (1824-1905) was a Scottish author, poet, and Christian minister. He was a pioneering figure in the field of fantasy literature and the mentor of fellow writer Lewis Carroll. His writings have been cited as a major literary influence by many notable authors including W. H. Auden, C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Walter de la Mare, E. Nesbit and Madeleine L'Engle. G. K. Chesterton cited The Princess and the Goblin as a book that had "made a difference to my whole existence". MacDonald has been credited with founding the "kailyard school" of Scottish writing.
