McGavin (University of Southampton), ‘“Things Indifferent”? Performativity and Calderwood’s History of the Kirk’ Plenary Debate: ‘Literary Culture in Medieval and Renaissance Scotland: Perspectives and Patterns’ Speakers: Prof. Sally Mapstone (Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the University of St Andrews) and Prof. Roger Mason (University of St Andrews and President of the Scottish History Society) Plenary abstracts: Prof. Alessandra Petrina: ‘From the margins’ Sixteenth-century Scottish literature suffers from the superimposition of a European periodization that sorts ill with its historical circumstances, and from the centripetal force of the neighbouring Tudor culture. Thus, in the perception of literary historians, it is often reduced to a marginal phenomenon, that draws its force solely from its powers of receptivity and imitation. Yet, as Philip Sidney writes in his Apology for Poetry, imitation can be transformed into creative appropriation: ‘the diligent imitators of Tully and Demosthenes (most worthy to be imitated) did not so much keep Nizolian paper-books of their figures and phrases, as by attentive translation (as it were) devour them whole, and made them wholly theirs’. The often lamented marginal position of Scottish early modern literature was also the key to its insatiable exploration of continental models and its development of forms that had long exhausted their vitality in Italy or France.

Disrupting place attachment has a negative impact on people’s psychological well-being and the health of their communities. Place attachment can motivate people’s engagement in civic actions to protect their beloved places from being destroyed, especially when buildings and public spaces are demolished or redeveloped in historic places. However, the UK planning and heritage sectors have made only limited attempts to understand people’s attachment to the historic environment and how it may influence planning, conservation and development that affects historic places.

We can assist you in making significant savings by providing a solution. Our planning involves using a Trust, through which the dividend payments are directed. The shares are transferred into a Trust and dividends declared on those shares. By appointing an interest in the Trust’s income to your child or children, the dividends are taxed at their personal rates of tax rather than at your higher or additional rates of tax.

This is a timely question for scholars to address. Recently, for example, some Scottish literature scholars have written a petition to the Modern Language Association to expand its current Scottish Literature Discussion Group into a Division on Scottish Literature at the MLA. The petition states that recent Scottish literary scholarship has “(a) recognised the wealth and distinctiveness of the Scottish literary tradition, and (b) sought to redress the anglo-centric bias of earlier treatments of Scottish writing…” (Corbett et al 1).

    Riach, A. (2017) Alan Riach examines neglected poets in a time of political transition. National, 2017, 17 March. This is the author’s final accepted version. There may be differences between this version and the published version. You are advised to consult the publisher’s version if you wish to cite from it. http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/161587/ Deposited on: 01 May 2018 Enlighten – Research publications by members of the University of Glasgow http://eprints.gla.ac.uk Crossing the border of 1603: neglected poets in a time of political transition Alan Riach Mark Alexander Boyd, the Castalian Band and William Drummond of Hawthornden aren’t much heard of today, yet they worked at the same time as Shakespeare. No harm would be done if a fraction of the time spent on the great English playwright were devoted to them. They deserve some reappraisal. The Castalian Band was a group of poets associated closely with and effectively led by King James VI (1566-1625) before, and to a lesser extent after, he became James I in London in 1603. James was a poet himself, alongside Alexander Montgomerie, William Fowler, John Stewart of Baldynneis and others. Before we come to them, one of their older contemporaries warrants attention for his own sake. I’d propose that on the strength of a single poem, he’s one of our greatest writers. Mark Alexander Boyd (1563-1601) was the oldest of three cousins, all literary figures, of the Carrick family of the Boyds of Penkill. Penkill Castle, near Girvan in Ayrshire, their family home, is now privately owned but houses a remarkable stairwell mural depicting scenes from James I’s poem, The Kingis Quair.

Sadly, during August, a large branch fell off in the middle of the night, victim so the experts said to the phenomenon of ’summer drop’. Much to our relief we have been assured that the tree is otherwise in good health, subject to some pruning to balance what remains. So far as I’m aware that is the only negative change in the physical aspect of the College that I need to report. Work has continued on aspects of the fabric to ensure that the original Butterfield buildings are preserved and, where appropriate, enhanced. This has included a further phase of refurbishment of the rooms in Liddon Quad and of some of the floor tiling in the Hall. The main elements of a new lighting scheme in the Chapel have also been completed and, as a result, three valuable outcomes have been achieved: the mosaics are now visible,The Light of the World is lit to much better effect and the choir is able to read the music its members so ably perform.

Derrick McClure Translation and Transcreation in the Castalian Period In 1876 Sir James Murray produced his masterwork The Dialect oj the Southern Counties oj Scotland: a landmark in the history of linguistic thought, since it not only incorporated the most comprehensive account yet produced of any European non-standard speech, but provided a model for future work in the field: in fact, it placed the study of spoken dialects on a scholarly and scientific basis. Murray's methods of investigation, analysis and description were immediately adopted in France and Germany, and re­ searchers produced important accounts of continental European dialects. Scotland, however, proved stony ground: despite the enormous wealth of material for dialect study, it was decades before the country in which the new techniques had been first developed came near to catching up with later scholarship. In the same way, the great Ubersetzungskultur of Renaissance Europe may be said to have been heralded by one of the fmest secular translations ever made, Gavin Douglas's Eneo.dos of 1513.
