Studies in Scottish Literature Volume 38 (Paperback)

This is the first volume in a new series of the leading international journal in its field. It opens with a symposium on the Present State of Scottish Literary Studies with contributions from prominent Scottish, American, and Canadian scholars. The topics of other articles include the continuity of Scottish literature, an 18th-century Scottish ballad collector, the first printer of The Merry Muses of Caledonia, "Scots wha hae" on the Afro-New York Stage, Lockhart's Memoir of Walter Scott, and an unrecorded Robert Burns poetic manuscript. Studies in Scottish Literature was founded and edited since 1963 by G. Ross Roy, who has now transferred it to new editors so that it will continue to be published from the University of South Carolina.
