DESCRIPTION
What is a national Romanticism, and what in particular is Scottish Romanticism? In answering these questions, this essay identifies five of the central underpinning features of national cultures. It then goes on to explain how the strength of a national Romanticism in Scotland derives from them, before assessing the importance of the key writers of the Romantic movement in Scotland in terms of this framework and in the context of their relationship to Romanticism in its wider context.
