Paperback. Condizione: Very Good Plus. First Edition. 2005. 825pp. Edited and introduced by Marco Fazzini. "Alba Literaria is the first history of Scottish literature planned and produced outside Scotland. It is made up of 48 essays written on single authors or single aspects of the Scottish literary production, and it is focussed on topics spanning from medieval times to some of the latest writers working nowadays in the country (or, partly, outside it). Each contribution to the volume deals with particular aspects of those works or writers, so as to analyse the fracture zones where the Canon and its linearity is ques-tioned or subverted, illustrating some of the core problems attached to a 'minor' and 'colonised' country, such as: the loss of national identity, the schizophrenic contra-dictions linked to its multi-linguistic reality, the psychic and cultural anxiety determined by its 'marginalization', the tragedy of the Scottish Clearances and Diaspora, the con-taminations and the divergences between the English and the Scottish canons, the role played, through various centuries, by translation, and the too often suppressed worlds of oral production and women's lit-erature respectively."
