Beschreibung

What do we mean by 'Scottish literature'?
Why does it matter?
How do we engage with it?
Bringing infectious enthusiasm and a lifetime's experience to bear on this multi-faceted literary nation, Alan Riach, Professor of Scottish Literature at the University of Glasgow, sets out to guide you through the varied and ever-evolving landscape of Scottish literature.
A comprehensive and extensive work designed not only for scholars but also for the generally curious, Scottish Literature: an introduction tells the tale of Scotland's many voices across the ages, from Celtic pre-history to modern mass media. Forsaking critical jargon, Riach journeys chronologically through individual works and writers, both the famed and the forgotten, alongside broad overviews of cultural contexts which connect texts to their own times. Expanding the restrictive canon of days gone by, Riach also sets down a new core body of 'Scottish Literature': key writers and works in English, Scots, and Gaelic.
Ranging across time and genre, Scottish Literature: an introduction invites you to hear Scotland through her own words.

    Werewolves: The Legends and Folk...

    Werewolves have long been a staple of popular culture. In the 19th century and 20th century, there were countless books, plays, and films about people who turned into wolves or wolf like humanoids and went on rampages. The figure of the werewolf is so familiar that people across the world are familiar with the folklore, and the beliefs that they transform during a full moon, can only be stopped with silver, and transmit their disease by biting their victims. 
    	In fact, those beliefs were not originally part of werewolf folklore, but later embellishments by artists. The belief in lycanthropy is far older and more complex than most people suspect, dating all the way back to antiquity, and werewolves were once assumed to be very real. Indeed, people were even put on trial and executed because the courts of law were convinced they could change their form and kill innocent people. For thousands of years, werewolves have represented a strange and ancient tradition that still echoes through culture to this day. 
    	Werewolves: The Legends and Folk Tales about Humans Shapeshifting into Wolves chronicles the ancient traditions and origins behind the belief in the existence of werewolves.

    Phaedo is one of the dialogues written by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. It is a philosophical exploration of the nature of the soul, the afterlife, and the concept of knowledge. The dialogue is set on the day of Socrates' execution, and it recounts the conversation between Socrates and his followers, including Phaedo, about his impending death and their beliefs about the soul. 
    Throughout the dialogue, Socrates argues that the soul is immortal and that the pursuit of knowledge is the key to achieving true wisdom. He uses a variety of analogies, including the idea of the soul being like a prisoner trapped in the body, to illustrate his points. Socrates also discusses the theory of Forms, which holds that there is a separate, ideal realm of existence that contains perfect and eternal Forms or Ideas, such as Beauty or Justice, that the physical world merely approximates. 
    Phaedo is considered one of Plato's most influential works, and it continues to be studied and debated by philosophers and scholars today. Its themes of the nature of the soul, the afterlife, and the pursuit of knowledge are central to many philosophical and religious traditions, and its exploration of these concepts continues to be relevant to contemporary discussions in ethics, epistemology, and metaphysics.

    Why do we search for balance in our lives? The answer is simple, and nearly all of us know it. Some of us simply don't want to accept the truth, while some of us want to find solutions for the imbalance in our lives. The importance of balance cannot be undermined, considering that it brings with its calmness, peace, happiness, and the strength to face any kind of diversity. With balance come increased productivity and efficiency and untold happiness and joy.  
    A balanced person is physically, emotionally, and mentally healthy and lives a meaningful and contented life, regardless of the challenges he or she faces. Feelings of imbalance include mental, emotional, and physical sickness, fear, unease, discomforts of all kinds, and suffering.  
    Signs of Mental Balance  
    The answers to the following questions will help you understand if you have mental balance and stability: 
    Do you see the world and yourself clearly without the truth being warped in mire and ambiguity? 
    Do you feel swept away by the veils that cover the truths of your life? 
    Do you attempt to see the truth as it is instead of trying to explain it away with some vague explanations just to make it agree with your perception?  
    Do you deliberately use your mind as a sense organ or something that you would simply brush as an appendage that comes in the way of your life?

    Shakespeare's White Others

    Examining the racially white 'others' whom Shakespeare creates in characters like Richard III, Hamlet, and Tamora—figures who are never quite 'white enough'—this bold and compelling work emphasizes how such classification perpetuates anti-Blackness and reaffirms white supremacy. David Sterling Brown offers nothing less here than a wholesale deconstruction of whiteness in Shakespeare's plays, arguing that the 'white other' was a racialized category already in formation during the Elizabethan era—and also one to which Shakespeare was himself a crucial contributor. In exploring Shakespeare's determinative role and strategic investment in identity politics (while drawing powerfully on his own life experiences, including adolescence), the author argues that even as Shakespearean theatrical texts functioned as engines of white identity formation, they expose the illusion of white racial solidarity. This essential contribution to Shakespeare studies, critical whiteness studies, and critical race studies is an authoritative, urgent dismantling of dramatized racial profiling.
