<p><i>A Companion to Scottish Literature</i> offers fresh readings of major authors and periods of Scottish literary production from the first millennium to the present. Bringing together contributions by many of the world’s leading experts in the field, this comprehensive resource provides the historical background of Scottish literature, highlights new critical approaches, and explores wider cultural and institutional contexts. <p>Dealing with texts in the languages of Scots, English, and Gaelic, the <i>Companion</i> offers modern perspectives on the historical milieux, thematic contexts and canonical writers of Scottish literature. Original essays apply the most up-to-date critical and scholarly analyses to a uniquely wide range of topics, such as Gaelic literature, national and diasporic writing, children’s literature, Scottish drama and theatre, gender and sexuality, and women’s writing. Critical readings examine William Dunbar, Robert Burns, Walter Scott, Robert Louis Stevenson, Muriel Spark and Carol Ann Duffy, amongst others. <p>With full references and guidance for further reading, as well as numerous links to online resources, <i>A Companion to Scottish Literature</i> is essential reading for advanced students and scholars of Scottish literature, as well as academic and non-academic readers with an interest in the subject.
