PS-Surveying English Literatures: Scottish Nature Writing
Cordula Lemke
Kommentar
Today's image of Scotland is still dominated by the myths of peaty and moss-covered Highlands and their tartan-wearing inhabitants who entertain weary travellers with tales of ghosts and murderers; myths that were invented at the end of the eighteenth century and whose legacy still endures – albeit with a twist. New nature writing has changed romantic images by questioning how we appropriate nature and by contesting our own place in nature. In this seminar we will look at how nature was depicted at the end of the eighteenth century and where short stories, poems and novels take us today.
