    The Culture of Literature and Language in Medieval and Renaissance Scotland 15th International Conference on Medieval and Renaissance Scottish Literature and Language (ICMRSLL) University of Glasgow, Scotland, 25-28 July 2017 Draft list of speakers and abstracts Plenary Lectures: Prof. Alessandra Petrina (Università degli Studi di Padova), ‘From the Margins’ Prof. John J. 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.

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).

(Martial, Epigrams, II, 86) ii ABSTRACT The research detailed in this thesis explores the largely uncharted territory represented by the Hawthornden manuscripts (Edinburgh, National Library of Scotland, MSS 2063-67) of William Fowler, Scottish courtier in Edinburgh and London and attached to the court of Queen Anna of Denmark between 1590 and 1612. The research has focused on material evidence of scribal culture, with the aim of clarifying issues of localization of specific texts and typologies of texts in relation to their social, literary and more broadly cultural background. Based on the fragmentary evidence in the Hawthornden manuscript, this project engages in the exploration of one of the “cultural places of the European Renaissance”, focusing on the early Stuart courtly establishment in the first decade of the seventeenth century. The aim is, on the one hand, to close a series of scholarly gaps in the field of manuscript-based studies of the Scottish Jacobean Renaissance, and on the other, to increase our knowledge of British Jacobean cultural life in the broader sense of the word.

  • William Drummond of Hawthornden and Petrarchan National Sentiment in the Wake of the Union of the Crowns
    ~ 1 ~ Voglie divise : William Drummond of Hawthornden and Petrarchan national sentiment in the wake of the Union of the Crowns Patrick Hart ([email protected]) This paper brings together two recent developments in early modern literary history: a renewed focus on Petrarchism’s role in the cultivation of national sentiment across Europe (exemplified by William Kennedy’s The Site of Petrarchism (2003)); and the geopolitical turn towards ‘the British problem’ - that is, toward questions of national and regional identity in the North-West Atlantic archipelago around the time of the Union of the Crowns in 1603. In Archipelagic English (2008), a study exemplary of this latter movement, John Kerrigan offers an intimidatingly sophisticated reading of how William Drummond’s work was conditioned by the relative isolation of Scotland within a culturally conflicted regal union. However, he makes barely any mention of the Petrarchan poetry upon which Drummond’s literary reputation rests, beyond noting that it has been ‘misconstrued as a hangover from Elizabethan Petrarchism’. This is surprising. As Kennedy observes, the premise that the Petrarchan sonnet provides a site for the expression and exploration of early modern national sentiment is ‘not controversial’, and, given Scotland’s ambivalent status post-Union we might ESSE 2010 Patrick Hart — Drummond and Petrarchan National Sentiment ~ 2 ~ expect the sonneteering of the ‘Petrarch of the North’ to be the site of particularly intriguing such explorations. But Kennedy, too, in his own study, while mentioning Petrarchism’s role in the shaping of national sentiment in Italy, France, Spain, England, Germany, Eastern Europe and the New World, never touches on the growing fascination of Scottish poets for the Petrarchan sonnet sequence in the wake of the union of the Crowns.

ALEXANDER ARBUTHNOT AND THE LYRIC IN POST-REFORMATION SCOTLAND1 Joanna M. Martin A small collection of poems attributed to one M. A. Arbuthnot survives in a group of late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century manuscripts associated with the Maitland Family of Lethington, East Lothian. These poems have attracted little critical attention, having been overshadowed by the sizable and important collections of Older Scots verse by William Dunbar and Sir Richard Maitland of Lethington contained in the same manuscripts.2 The poems attributed to Arbuthnot, however, have considerable literary and cultural significance and yet, as this article demonstrates, represent the early stages of the development of a distinctive Protestant poetics3 in the first two decades following the Reformation Parliament in Scotland, when a Calvinist catechesis became the formal framework of the Kirk’s teachings.4 Previous studies of Older 1 I am extremely grateful to Dr Nicola Royan and Dr Jamie Reid Baxter for their comments on an earlier version of this article.
