Questioning Scotland - Literature, Nationalism, Postmodernism

Informationen zum Autor ELEANOR BELL is Leverhulme Post-doctoral Fellow in Scottish and Irish Literature and Culture in the Department of English Studies at the University of Strathclyde. She is co-editor of Scotland in Theory: Reflections on Scottish Literature and Culture . Klappentext Questioning Scotland considers the ways in which Scottish Literature has often been discussed in parochial, essentialist terms. It suggests that Scottish literary studies must now expand its conceptual boundaries in order to account for changes taking place at wider European and global levels. It is literary-based but also scrutinizes the methodological construction process of national traditions. Drawing on wider theories of postmodernism, (post)nationalism and globalism, it will help map the changing nature of national studies and Scottish studies in particular.
