Riassunto

The previously unpublished essays presented in this engaging collection show that the whole of Scotland—from Highland to Lowland, high cultures and low—participated in the reshaping of literature in the 18th century. Featuring the latest contemporary scholarship on the subject, this analysis exposes the roots of the Scottish Enlightenment and reveals the connections between Highland and Lowland culture. The efforts of 14 leading scholars explore this time of drastic upheaval that witnessed an explosion of Scottish writing, transforming world literature and culture.
