Tncis Syllabus Outline Modern British Literature ENGL 2220 Course Title: Modern British Literature Course Number: ENGL 2220 Credit Hours: 3 Catalog Course Description: Literary, cultural, and historical aspects of British literature; focus on works that illustrate important literary trends; research project required. From 1798. How Program Site will be incorporated into the course: This course provides a study of the development of British literature beginning with the Romantic Period, running through the Victorian Era, and continuing to the present. Because the course is offered in Scotland, more time than is customary will be devoted to the literature of the Scottish Enlightenment, which revived interest in the history, heroes, and cultural heritage of the Scottish people. The course might even “back up” a bit—and capitalize on the Scottish setting—to provide a brief study of Shakespeare’s “Scottish play.” As is customary in a traditional Modern British Literature course, this study will include representatives from the Romantics, Victorians, and Moderns. To help make this version of Modern British Literature unique, though, the influence of Scotland’s cultural heritage on some of its best-known literature will also be examined. The course will include several of Scotland’s most famous authors—Robert Burns, Sir Walter Scott, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The poetry of Burns and the novels of Scott remind readers of the heroes in Scotland’s fight for independence—William Wallace and Robert Bruce. While reading about these heroes, students will also walk in their footsteps and stand among castle ruins where they fought the armies from south of the Border. The course will also include opportunities to peer down the dark alleys that inspired Stevenson to create Jekyll and Hyde. Plus, students will solve mysteries alongside Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. In each location along the way, academic content will be enhanced by walking tours of landmarks and historical sites—culminating in Edinburgh, which has World Heritage Site status. Scotland’s capital offers a wide variety of interesting places to visit as supplements to course readings (e.g., Edinburgh Castle, St. Giles’ Cathedral, the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the Royal College of Surgeons, the University of Edinburgh, and several world-class museums and art galleries).

  • The Historicity of Barbour's Bruce
    The Historicity of Barbour's Bruce By JAMES HAND TAGGART School of Scottish Studies Faculty of Arts University of Glasgow A thesis submitted'to the University of Glasgow in May 2004 for the degreeof Doctor of Philosophy ii Acknowledgments Professor Geoffrey Barrow took time to discuss various aspects of Barbour's purpose in writing The Bruce. Professor Archie Duncan spent hours with me on several occasions. His knowledge of The Bruce is unsurpassed;he shared it most generously. He was patient when I questioned some of his conclusions about Barbour's work and its historicity. His edition of The Bruce, together with its extensivenotes, was invaluable for my analysis of Barbour. Drs. Sonia Cameron and Fiona Watson also gave generouslyof their time at crucial points. I am especially grateful to my supervisor, Professor Edward Cowan. He never failed to smile and brew up a coffee on the many occasionsI visited his room in the Department of Scottish History. He kept my enthusiasm going over a prolonged period, and helped to structure my work in a way that made the analyses more accessibleand the discussion more meaningful. He vigorously defendedme and my work against aggressive and unprofessional attack, and encouraged me to think rigorously at every point. I am glad, though, to observethat I finally convinced him that the carl of Carrick killed, but did not murder, the lord of Badenoch on 10 February 1306. Thanks for your guidanceand friendship, Ted. On a personal note, I am grateful to Fiona for starting me out on this journey, and to Mairi for sustaining me on the last few laps.

  • Outlaw King 2018
    THE OUTLAW KING (LION RAMPANT) Written by David Harrower, James MacInnes & David Mackenzie With revisions by Bathsheba Doran January 2017 1 I/E. SCOTTISH VILLAGE - DAY 1 A flock of SHEEP wander through corpses. A massacre has taken place. Men, women, children are dead on the ground. Sheep walk through cottages. The cottages have been ransacked. A SHEEP DOG barks, trying to herd the flock back where they belong. He works with some success, herding them past burned haystacks into the fields. The animals startle at the sound of galloping hooves. A RIDER is approaching, a BLOODHOUND at his side. The rider dismounts. Looks around. Takes in the destruction, the death. He eyes a crucifix fallen to the floor in one of the cottages. He’s a man of composure but his jaw muscles are popping, his eyes are burning. He is appalled. This is ROBERT THE BRUCE (30s). His dog is FAOLAN. Robert mounts his horse again, canters off. Stops. A few yards outside the village is a dead GIRL (7). She must have been running away. There is blood down her legs. Raped. Robert stares at her. Dismounts. Runs like a madman back towards the village. He returns to the girl, still running, now with a spade. He begins to dig her a grave as fast as he can. Dirt flies through the air. All his anger, all his grief, channeled into the physical act of tearing at the earth. Faolan licks at the girls bloody leg. Robert lets out a roar. ROBERT Here! The dog bounds obediently to his side.
