Bibliography of Scottish Literature
Victorian and Edwardian Scottish Literature
Introductory Reading
Once again, the general histories listed at the beginning of the reading lists under General Further Reading are useful starting points, including Aitken, Daiches, Glen, Kinsley, Lindsay, Millar, Royle, Speirs, Walker, Watson and Wittig. Some useful introductory texts for this section overlap with the basic suggestions for Section Three. The third volume of the four-volume History of Scottish Literature series (General Editor Cairns Craig) is edited by Douglas Gifford (Aberdeen: Aberdeen University Press, 1988), and brings together essays on the major writers and on general backgound and issues. Other useful introductory texts include David Daiches, Literature and Gentility:Some Late Victorian Attitudes (Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 1982); Nineteenth Century Scottish Fiction: A Critical Anthology, ed. Ian Campbell, (Manchester: Carcanet New Press, 1979) and Studies in Scottish Fiction: Nineteenth Century, eds. Horst W. Drescher and Joachim Schwend, (Frankfurt am Main: P. Lang, 1985). For a radical new reading of the achievements of Scottish literature in the nineteenth century see William Donaldson's pioneering and controversial Popular Literature in Victorian Scotland: Language, Fiction and the Press (Aberdeen: Aberdeen University Press, 1986), and its accompanying anthology, The Language of the People: Scots Prose from the Victorian Revival (Aberdeen: Aberdeen University Press, 1989) and Tom Leonard's groundbreaking collection of forgotten poetic voices in Radical Renfrew (Edinburgh: Polygon, 1990). Related language issues in the fiction are dealt with by Emma Letley in From Galt to Douglas Brown; Nineteenth-Century fiction and Scots Language (Edinburgh: Scottish Academic Press, 1988). Early criticism of the Kailyard tendency in writing came from George Blake in Barrie and the Kailyard School (London, 1921); more recently Thomas Knowles analyses the sociological background in Ideology, Art and Commerce: Aspects of Literary Sociology in the Late Victorian Scottish Kailyard (Göteborg: Acta Universitatis Gothoburgensis, 1983), while Ian Campbell has the most recent study in Kailyard: A New Assessment (Edinburgh: Ramsey Head Press, 1981). Willa Muir's Mrs. Grundy in Scotland (London, 1936) is a fine satirical assessment of Victorian gentility and piety, and its effect on the literature. The 'Celtic Twilight' has received less attention, but Malcolm Chapman's The Gaelic Vision in Scottish Culture (London and Montreal: Croom Helm, 1978) helps to bring perspective, while F. Alaya's study William Sharp: 'Fiona MacLeod' (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1936), brings out the strangeness of this divided personality at the heart of the movement.
For historical and cultural background see the general works listed under General Further Reading, at the beginning of the reading lists, including Cowan and Gifford, Finlay, Devine, Fergusson, and Lynch; and additionally see Olive and Sidney Checkland's Industry and Ethos: Scotland 1832-1914 (London: Edward Arnold, 1984); and for a bleakly reductive view of the period, T.C. Smout's A Century of the Scottish People 1830-1950 (London: William Collins, 1986). Specifically useful are Bruce Lenman's Integration, Enlightenment, and Industrialisation: Scotland 1746-1832 (London: Edward Arnold, 1983), and Michael Fry's combative Patronage and Principle: A Political History of Modern Scotland (Aberdeen: Aberdeen University Press, 1987), which could be set against Ian Hutchison's A Political History of Scotland (Edinburgh: John Donald, 1985). For the beginnings of nationalism see Christopher Harvie, Scotland and Nationalism: Scottish Society and Politics 1770-1977 (London: Allen & Unwin, 1977). For church history, A.C. Cheyne's The Transforming of the Kirk: Victorian Scotland's Religious Revolution (Edinburgh: Saint Andrew Press, 1983), and Callum Brown's The Social History of Religion in Scotland Since 1730 (London: Methuen, 1987) are useful.
