Studies in Scottish Literature
Provides an annotated guide to the Scottish neo-Latin texts and translations now available in two major digital projects, the Philological Museum (University of Birmingham) and Bridging the Continental Divide (University of Glasgow), with briefer notes on other related print and digital resources, commenting on the importance of fully-annotated editorial and translation projects now fewer students and researchers can tackle such texts in the original Latin.
Thomas Carlyle, Sartor Resartus (1834), Kathryn Chittick
Thomas Carlyle, Sartor Resartus (1834), Kathryn Chittick
Studies in Scottish Literature
Argues that Thomas Carlyle's fictional autobiography from the 1830s deserves recognition as one of the most experimental of Scottish novels and suggests some ways in which it anticipates a fictive self-consciousness often thought of as post-modern.
Matthew Fitt, But N Ben A-Go-Go (2000), Caroline Mccracken-Flesher
Matthew Fitt, But N Ben A-Go-Go (2000), Caroline Mccracken-Flesher
Studies in Scottish Literature
Puts forward Fitt's "challenging, haunting novel," "a dystopian, coming of age, scientific-detective-police procedural-medical romance," written in "lyrical/acerbic Scots," as "thrawn, readable, un-put-down-able," and a "darkly plotted challenge to family dynamics."
Tom Scott As Religious Poet: 'The Paschal Candill' In Context, Richie Mccaffery
Tom Scott As Religious Poet: 'The Paschal Candill' In Context, Richie Mccaffery
Studies in Scottish Literature
Discusses the religious beliefs and writings of the Scottish poet Tom Scott (1918-1995), both as a continuing concern and during a period of explicitly Catholic belief in the 1950, examining in detail his Catholic poem 'The Paschal Candill' in relation to his much more widely-recognized political comments.
Fresh Air: Michel Faber, Under The Skin (2000) With A Comment On Trainspotting, Tony Jarrells
Fresh Air: Michel Faber, Under The Skin (2000) With A Comment On Trainspotting, Tony Jarrells
Studies in Scottish Literature
Comparing Faber's treatment of the Scottish Highlands (his only novel set in Scotland) with a Highland incident in Welsh's Trainspotting, arguing that in Faber the Highlands are "not merely some representation of a romanticized past," but also "represent this present moment,... marked by the class conflicts and near political hopelessness" seen in Welsh, but also "a strong sense of beauty and an appreciation for the environment."
Jackie Kay, Trumpet (1998), Marie Hologa
Jackie Kay, Trumpet (1998), Marie Hologa
Studies in Scottish Literature
Argues that Kay's acclaimed novel about a celebrated black jazz trumpeter, who is transgender, presents "an alternative construction of masculinity to the stereotypical Scottish 'hard man' of tartan noir, " dealing with "questions of identity that go beyond Scottishness," and unmasking "the emptiness of normative categories like gender, sexuality, ‘race’ and ethnic origins in a postmodern ... society."

Robin Jenkins, The Thistle And The Grail (1954) With A Comment On Sunset Song, David E. Latane
Robin Jenkins, The Thistle And The Grail (1954) With A Comment On Sunset Song, David E. Latane
Studies in Scottish Literature
Recommends Robin Jenkins's story of a Scottish football (soccer) team, Drumsagart Thistle, and its quest to win the Scottish Junior Cup, as "a marvelous compendium of Roy of the Rovers improbabilities, Our Town ethnography, critiques of gender relations, subtle and broad satire, and laugh outloud comedy."
Writing On The Margins: Luke Sutherland, Venus As A Boy (2004), Manfred Malzahn
Writing On The Margins: Luke Sutherland, Venus As A Boy (2004), Manfred Malzahn
Studies in Scottish Literature
Recommends Sutherland's "epiphanic" short novel, which received rave reviews on publication, as a novel that should have been "an almost mandatory selection" for the BBC poll ballot, suggesting that it was excluded, not only because of length, explicit language, and violence, but because its island setting and depiction of "the fuzzy margins of sexual and racial identity" made it wrongly seem peripheral to the Scottish "mainland and mainstream."
The Scotch Bard And 'The Planting Line': New Documents On Burns And Jamaica, Clark Mcginn
The Scotch Bard And 'The Planting Line': New Documents On Burns And Jamaica, Clark Mcginn
Studies in Scottish Literature
Based on newly-identified documents, reexamines Burns's plan in 1786 to emigrate to Jamaica to take a job on a Scottish-owned slave plantation, and the timing and circumstances of his eventual decision to stay in Scotland, concluding that Burns "kept his options open to the last moment," and that the new documents might mean Burns "sought to prosper from chattel slavery," and "only dropped the opportunity because a better offer came along, not because of any moral scruples."

'Not In Egerer'? (Some Of) What We Still Don't Know About Burns Bibliography, Patrick Scott
Studies in Scottish Literature
Briefly reviews developments in Burns bibliography since J.W. Egerer's Bibliography of Robert Burns (1964), examines the kinds of material that Egerer aimed to include and exclude, and presents a series of brief case-studies illustrating the desirability of additional research, especially on early publication in non-book formats, for obtaining a fuller picture of Burns's textual history and readership.

The Crème De La Crème: Old Favourites, New-Fangled Works, And Other Fictions, Willy Maley
Studies in Scottish Literature
Introduces the SSL Debate, in which 18 contributors react to and add to the BBC Scotland poll on Scotland's Favourite Novel, discussing the purposes and limitations of various lists that have ranked recent Scottish fiction, and commenting briefly on the differences between this debate and the deliberations of a selection panel.
Venturing A Little Further: Margaret Elphinstone, The Sea Road (2000), Matthew Wickman
Venturing A Little Further: Margaret Elphinstone, The Sea Road (2000), Matthew Wickman
Studies in Scottish Literature
Proposes that Margaret Elphinstone’s historical novel about Gudrid of Iceland, an eleventh-century female explorer of Greenland and North America, is "a novel for many seasons: the eleventh century, the early and late twentieth, and far into the twenty-first," judging it "one of the great Scottish novels about the unknown," and "perhaps the nation’s greatest contribution to the modern zeitgeist."
Eric Linklater, Private Angelo (1946), Gill Plain
Eric Linklater, Private Angelo (1946), Gill Plain
Studies in Scottish Literature
Recommends Linklater's novel about World War II in Italy as "a book that cherishes national difference while utterly condemning nationalism," "as much a book for 2017 as it was for 1946," and "a sharply observant satire dissecting the male vanity, national hubris and hypocrisy behind the 'logic' of war."
Willa Muir, Imagined Corners (1931), Timothy C. Baker
Willa Muir, Imagined Corners (1931), Timothy C. Baker
Studies in Scottish Literature
Recommends Muir's novel (which came in 30th in the BBC poll), set in a small Scottish town and concerned with "'the ideology of Scotland,' and questions of class, religion, sexuality, politics, and education," as "indisputably a great novel, perhaps equalled in British fiction only by To the Lighthouse, and utterly unique in the Scottish canon,"
James Robertson, The Fanatic (2000), Silvia Mergenthal
James Robertson, The Fanatic (2000), Silvia Mergenthal
Studies in Scottish Literature
Suggests that Robertson's first novel, chiefly concerned with 17th century Scotland, already shows the complex intertextual relationships with earlier Scottish works by Scott, Hogg, and Stevenson that marks his subsequent writing, and comments particularly on its question "What happens later?," in relation to the Scottish vote for political devolution in May 1997.
Nan Shepherd, The Quarry Wood (1928), Carole Jones
Nan Shepherd, The Quarry Wood (1928), Carole Jones
Studies in Scottish Literature
Recommends Shepherd's novel about an independent woman in north-east Scotland as "vivid in delineating its female central character, its local language, and what is undoubtedly a radical engagement with sexual politics," that "examines closely issues of sexual identity and gender relations, and ... comes to its own thoughtful conclusions on women's place in the world."
Muriel Spark, The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie (1961), Katrin Berndt
Muriel Spark, The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie (1961), Katrin Berndt
Studies in Scottish Literature
Discusses Spark's well-known novel, recognizing its "curious amalgamation of acerbic humour, elegance of style, Calvinist spirit, and careful poignancy of plot development," but pointing also to "the pleasurable challenge" offered by its "charismatic" protagonist, Jean Brodie, "glamorous and romantic," "with a proud self-assurance rarely bestowed on female characters," which nonetheless "eludes everyone’s emotional grasp."
Gavin Douglas's Aeneados: Caxton's English And 'Our Scottis Langage', Jacquelyn Hendricks
Gavin Douglas's Aeneados: Caxton's English And 'Our Scottis Langage', Jacquelyn Hendricks
Studies in Scottish Literature
Discusses the Scots poet Gavin Douglas's translation of Virgil's Aeneid into Scots, and Douglas's treatment of his predecessor William Caxton's translation of Virgil into English, arguing that Douglas associates Caxton's English with a barbaric world of monsters and beasts, in contrast to Scots which is seen as expressing civilized classical values, and that Douglas's translation, by enhancing and showcasing the literary power of Scots for a wider audience, successfully resisted for at least forty years the linguistic standardization initiated by the burgeoning print industry.
