SummaryThis course will examine the political and gender issues surrounding fiction written in Scotland, Ireland and England against the background of the wars with Revolutionary and Napoleonic France and their aftermath, from the 'Jacobin' and 'Anti-Jacobin' novels of the 1790s to the Historical novels of Scott and Hogg in the post-war period. Four seminars from ten are devoted to Scottish writers, making this course available as a Scottish-content option for students taking degrees naming Scottish Literature. Most of the authors studied are women, making this an attractive option also for students with a particular interest in the history of women's writing.
