Beside the Bard

Scottish Lowland Poetry in the Age of Burns

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Whether male or female, loyalist or radical, urban or rural, literati or autodidacts, Scottish Lowland poets in the age of Burns adamantly refuse to imagine a single British nation. Instead, they pose the question of “Scotland” as a revolutionary category, always subject to creative destruction and reformation.
