Inhalt: This graduate seminar focuses on Scottish nature writing in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The course will begin with an overview of theory relevant to nature writing and a background and cultural context of Scottish literature. We will then read the foundational text of the course, The Living Mountain by Nan Shepherd, which we will also put in a twenty-first century context and compare to recent Scottish nature writing texts. And we will have our first JGU Scotland HUB fellow Jenny Sturgeon talking to us about her engagement with The Living Mountain. Throughout the course we will look at Scottish nature writing in various literary forms including creative non-fiction, novels, and poetry and discuss issues of gender, Scottishness, and personal well-being in an ever-accelerating twenty-first century, with particular emphasis on human-nature relations in the midst of the climate crisis.
Empfohlene Literatur: Essential Reading: Nan Shepherd’s The Living Mountain. 1977. Edinburgh: Canon-gate, 2014.
