As the Irish Revival took shape and the Home Rule debate dominated UK politics, what was happening in Scotland? This book reveals distinct but comparable concerns with cultural defence and revivalism in fin-de-sie?cle Scotland, evident in the work of a number of writers and artists including Robert Louis Stevenson, Patrick Geddes, Fiona Macleod, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Mona Caird, Arthur Conan Doyle, John Duncan and various contributors to The Evergreen. Situating Scottish literature and art alongside international developments in culture, especially the rise of decadence, symbolism and Celticism, Michael Shaw demonstrates the ways in which dissident fin-de-sie?cle styles and ideas supported and defined the Scottish Revival.
Michael Shaw is Lecturer in Scottish Literature at the University of Stirling, having previously held posts at the Universities of Kent, Glasgow and Strathclyde. He is editor of A Friendship in Letters: Robert Louis Stevenson & J. M. Barrie (forthcoming from Sandstone Press).
