ISBN: 1403913315 ISBN-13: 9781403913319 Publisher: Palgrave MacMillan OUR PRICE: $52.24 Product Type: Hardcover Published: September 2004 Annotation: "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. |
