Produktinformationen zu „Scottish Fiction and the British Empire “
Scotland was an active -- albeit junior -- partner in the British Empire. But the poorer and more marginalized parts of Scottish society shared something of Ireland's experience of being at the receiving end of British imperial power. This created a long-lasting debate among Scottish novelists about the nature of Scotland's involvement in the power structures of the British Empire.

...it is a welcome addition to the body of criticism on the international contexts of Scottish Literature... BARS Bulletin and Review Mack's study is impressive in its ability to trace connections between such diverse texts as, for instance, Scott's Waverley and Buchan's Prester John, and in its smooth transitions between detailed analyses of individual novels, biographical sketches of both authors, and broader historical and cultural perspectives. As such, its appeal is both to readers who are not familiar with Scottish history and literature, and to the specialist.
