This is the first lecture of my Scottish Literature course, covering the 1707 Treat of Union, Allan Ramsay, and Robert Fergusson.

Scot Lit 101 Podcast

Lecture 1 - 13 October 2009

ScotLit101 podcasts will cover various subjects pertaining to Scottish Literature, as well as lectures I have given at Sofia University. Too often, particularly in academics, Scottish literature is buried and obscured under the larger category of British Literature. This happens not just around the world, but in Scotland as well! While major authors from Scotland are often taught, it is usually without a proper context. This podcast, and the accompanying website, seek to correct this wrong. I am an American, as you will hear, with a strong interest in Scottish history and literature, but as such I suppose I must apologize in advance if you were hoping to hear a different accent. But that's the point, isn't it? This literature, this language, should be enjoyed by all. And I hope you do!
