	Welcome to Scottish Literature: On-Site
		The Scottish Literature volumes feature dozens of them, but works on "Scotland" per se are to be found anywhere, and all are welcome in a study of this kind, as the student has come to Scotland partly to feel what the country as a whole is like.
		Scottish historical sites are of course the inspiration for much Scottish literature, whether they refer directly to the physical features of the site or not.
		Scottish museums, either literary (for example, authors’ homes) or historical, are a major source of inspiration for the student of Scottish literature.

	Overview of Scottish Literature (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Not one significant Scottish writer of the century may be labeled a realist, though of course realistic detail is to some degree a stock in trade of regionalists, and one finds occasional naturalistic moments in the kailyarders, in Margaret Oliphant's studies of the middle-class, and even in pages of the spiritual novelist, George Macdonald.
		But for the most part Scottish literature was notable, even notorious, for its love of the other states: the heroic past, the "Celtic twilight," the world of children, the ideal world, and at their least literary level, melodrama.
		A fairly vigorous Scottish flavor was present in these popular entertainments, but the invention of the railroad made possible the playing of London-based touring companies, with their London stars, and by the late nineteenth century, Scotland had become mostly a outpost of the London stage.

	Scottish Background
		Not only were they opposed to Scottish devolution, they also acquired a reputation for favouring English interests and ignoring Scotland, with the result that the Tories rapidly lost support in Scotland, until in the British General Election of 1997 not one Conservative was elected as an MP for a Scottish constituency.
		Early claims that Scottish politics would be new and different, avoiding party squabbling, have not always been fulfilled, and the parliament is dogged by the scandal of the huge cost of its new building in Edinburgh, not likely to be ready to use for many years yet.
		Scottish literature seems already to have left the union with England and to have lost its obsession with national identity.

		Scottish literature holds a unique position among literatures in and around the English language -- a 400 year history in which it has passed back and forth between national and regional status, depending on the conditions of state politics and national culture.
		Scottish poetry exists in a vacuum; it neither acts on the rest of literature nor reacts to it; and consequently it has shrunk to the level of anonymous folk song.
		Scottish culture was bitterly suppressed after the '45, particularly markers of Highland culture such as the bagpipe, kilt, and Gaelic language--the use of any one of which became a criminal offense.

		This is not to say that the voices of Scottish women poets were similarly ignored in earlier times, however, for their names do in fact figure in earlier literary histories and anthologies, especially those dating from the later nineteenth and earlier twentieth centuries.
		The omnipresence in Scottish thinking of the history of William Wallace, for example, whose death at the hands of the treacherous Scottish nobles elevated him to the status of mythic hero, was merely the most dramatic manifestation of how such beliefs persisted.
		In the case of Scottish literature, this indigenous culture is most clearly apparent in the vernacular, idiomatic tradition, as well as in the wholly Gaelic corpus, but it informs a large portion of the Anglophone literature as well.

	Writers plan to break away from ‘catch-all’ Scottish Arts Council - [Sunday Herald]
		“Literature has been treated as less important than the other arts in the past, but there is an increasing recognition by all fronts that a thriving literary sector is an arena for a debate of ideas, and an acid test of how strong a culture is,” he said.
		The outstanding problem is the belief that literature is underfunded at a maximum of 4.5% of the SAC budget, its profile is low, and writers are not properly represented in the current structure – they would make up a 50% of a proposed literature council to advise the new body.
		In his submission to the Cultural Commission, Dr Gavin Wallace – head of literature at the SAC – did not directly comment on Literature Scotland, but said their body was working with the Literature Forum, and acknowledged “a strong recognition for many years that literature requires a higher level of investment”.

	Literary Review: Contemporary Scottish writing
		Contemporary Scottish literature has developed from a rich and influential oral tradition of ballads and songs and an impressive written literature that dates back at least to the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and includes such names as John Barbour, Blind Harry, Robert Henryson, William Dunbar, Gavin Douglas, Allan Ramsay, and James MacPherson.
		The Scottish university presses, especially Aberdeen and Edinburgh, have supported and encouraged scholarship in Scottish literature; other presses, such as The Polygon Press, Rebel Inc., and Canongate--and a host of small magazines and reviews--have provided important outlets for new fiction, non-fiction, and poetry.
		And although much of the literature of these two decades bears no obvious relation to the politics of Scottishness, clearly the internal reassessment of things Scottish raised the consciousness of the people and affected their visions of life, even outside the ideas of nationalism.

		His other pension of [char]10 from the customs of Aberdeen was paid half yearly at Whitsunday and Martinmas, and, as no payment was made in the year from 3 April, 1395, to 3 April, 1396, it is, perhaps, safer to put his death in 1395.

		Reading the literature of three different languages, Gaelic, English, and Scots, we will be looking back at the larger questions of what defines the "Scottish" in Scottish literature.
		Though we will be focusing on the literature, I will provide a few materials in class from time to time to help with the historical context.

	No Thomson, No Wordsworth:
		Perhaps no one was quite as important to the importance of Scottish literature in the eighteenth century, though, as James MacPherson and, of course, Robert Burns.
		But Burns’ work is important, in part, because he may be credited with preserving and creating the presence of a Scottish language and literature at the tail end of the eighteenth century, without which it would be hard to distinguish a Scottish literature.
		Perhaps the most important of these features is the linguistic–since a distinctly national literature is, in many respects, determined by linguistic difference.
