Preface To Ssl 43:2, Patrick G. Scott, Anthony Jarrells
Studies in Scottish Literature

The Crème De La Crème: Old Favourites, New-Fangled Works, And Other Fictions, Willy Maley
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.
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.
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."
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."
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."
Scotland’S Top Ten & The Inadequacy Of A National Canon: Alasdair Gray’S Lanark (1981), Scott Lyall
Scotland’S Top Ten & The Inadequacy Of A National Canon: Alasdair Gray’S Lanark (1981), Scott Lyall
Studies in Scottish Literature
Discusses the healthy overlap in the recent BBC Scotland poll on Scotland's Favourite Novel between popular appeal and critical recognition; judges Gray's Lanark as "Scotland's greatest modern novel," which "deserves to be much better known internationally," as "the outstanding postmodern challenge to the global conformism of capitalist hyper-individualism," laments that, despite their usefulness, such curated polls and lists are self-perpetuating, to the neglect of many distinctive Scottish novels, and concludes by asking "what would a truly uncurated top 30 look like?"
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."
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.
