Inhaltsangabe

As he nears his 250th birthday, where does Sir Walter Scott stand now? Is the author who was once “The Great Unknown” unknown again? or is his cultural legacy still a deeply-rooted, recurrent source of inspiration for reworking into myriad new forms, for new audiences, and for very different times. This special issue of Studies in Scottish Literature , guest-edited by Daniel Cook and Lucy Wood, comprises thirteen newly-commissioned essays and an afterword, based on conference papers delivered at the University of Dundee in April 2017. After the editors’ introduction to the continuing commemoration and creative reworking of Scott’s work, the essays are organized in four sections: Scott and the Theatre, with essays by Mary C. Nestor, Barbara Bell, and Paula Sledzinska; Scott and History, with essays by Lucy Wood, John Williams, and Stephen Basdeo; Scott and Others, with essays by David Selfe, Juliet Shields, Camilla Cassidy, and Céline Sabiron; and Scott’s Afterlives, with essays by Fiona Robertson, George S. Williams, and Christopher Murray, with an afterword by Christopher Murray describes new reworkings of Scott’s work in comics format from the Dundee Comics Creative Space. Founded in 1963, Studies in Scottish Literature, the first refereed scholarly journal in its field, remains a leading forum for scholarly discussion and research. Edited by Patrick Scott and Tony Jarrells, of the University of South Carolina, with the support of a distinguished international advisory board, the journal publishes articles on all periods of Scottish literature. Daniel Cook is Senior Lecturer in 18th & 19th Century Literature and Associate Director of the Centre for Scottish Culture at the University of Dundee, University of Dundee. Lucy Wood is an affiliate with the Abbotsford Trust, in heritage education, and won the 2017 G. Ross Roy Medal for her Edinburgh PhD on Scott’s Antiquarian-ism.
