Excerpt from A Literary History of ScotlandThe general scope of the following pages does not, it is conceived, require any elaborate explanation. The work is an effort to fulfil the promise of its title-page, and it is for the reader to judge how far that effort has been successful. Down to the date of the Union of the Parliaments, the authors task was a perfectly plain-sailing one, in so far as regards the choice of writers to be dealt with. Thenceforward, however, he was from time to time confronted with the question, whether a particular writer of undoubted Scottish nationality should or should not be included in what professes to be a record of Scottish literature. That question was sometimes by no means a simple one to answer, and it was not without misgivings that the resolution was ultimately adopted, to abstain from attempting anything like adequate criticism of men like James Thomson, James Boswell, and Thomas Carlyle, and to rest satisfied with little more than the bare mention of their names. The reasons which determined this course are in each case sufficiently indicated in the text. If it be thought, on the other hand, that, whatever may be said of such omissions, the last two chapters err on the side of overcrowding, there can only be urged in extenuation a desire to make the work complete in the treatment of a period as to which information is not yet so readily accessible, or at least so conveniently digested, as it will some day come to be.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. a massive survey By othoniaboys This massive survey of Scottish literature up to 1903 was long the standard authority on the subject. It was written in an elegant style enhanced at times with flashes of quiet sarcasm and understatement. It would appear that the author actually read everything he discussed. He had a bias against fantasy (Oliphant and MacDonald). He blundered into saying that Stevenson's masterpiece was Prince Otto. He seems indeed to have had a dislike of Stevenson, possibly related to a general dislike of literary success and bestsellers.
