About This Book

An essayist argues that a nascent Scottish Renaissance, starting in literature and extending into politics and religion, seeks to restore suppressed national forms across language, art, and public life. He links the rise of nationalist and socialist currents, demands for Home Rule with fiscal autonomy, and the growth of Catholicism and Irish immigration to a wider cultural revival, advocates reviving Scots and Gaelic and criticizes prevailing journalistic, religious, and literary influences that have promoted anglicization, while urging realistic, sometimes militant, reorientation to reclaim distinct Scottish cultural and political autonomy.

This series of books, by some of the most distinguished English thinkers, scientists, philosophers, doctors, critics, and artists, was at once recognized as a noteworthy event. Written from various points of view, one book frequently opposing the argument of another, they provide the reader with a stimulating survey of the most modern thought in many departments of life. Several volumes are devoted to the future trend of Civilization, conceived as a whole; while others deal with particular provinces. It is interesting to see in these neat little volumes, issued at a low price, the revival of a form of literature, the Pamphlet, which has been in disuse for many years.
