Inhalt:

In this class we will read texts that will provide an overview of Scottish identity through time, as well as time in Scottish literature. We will work on several poems by authors ranging from Robert Burns to Carol Ann Duffy, and focus on how they deal with the subject of time. We will also read the Neo-victorian novel Poor Things by Alasdair Gray and, last but not least, with the first novel in the time travel series Outlander, by Diana Gabaldon, we will get a double outsider’s perspective on Scottishness and Scottish history, both because it is by an American author and because it is about an English nurse living in the 1940s who suddenly finds herself in eighteenth century Scotland, becoming thus a Sassenach, a foreigner in a foreign time.

Empfohlene Literatur:

A selection of poems and excerpts from various text will be made available in class.
Poor Things - Alasdair Gray
Outlander - Diana Gabaldon
Please read Outlander before the first session.
