The Culture of Literature and Language in Medieval and Renaissance Scotland
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. -

There is a polit- ical tension in his writings: until the 1730s at least he hoped for the resto- ration of an independent, Stuart, Scottish kingdom, but he also worked for Anglo-Scottish reconciliation. The latter was neither a premedit- ated project on his part, nor direct support of the Hanoverian dynasty, their governments, or the terms of the Treaty of Union. It was a slow movement, measured notably through epistolary poems exchanged with Englishmen. These personal, literary contacts helped him to imagine a common future shared by two peoples, or more precisely their elites. -

Ë D IMBUR6H I 8 6 9. THE CHIEFS OF COLQUHOUN AND THEIR COUNTRY. Impression: One Hundred and Fifty Copies, In Two Volumes. PRINTED FOR SIR JAMES COLQUHOUN OF COLQUHOUN AND LUSS, BARONET. No. /4 ?; ^ Presented to V PREFACE. AMONG the baronial families of Scotland, the chiefs of the Clan Colquhoun occupy a prominent place from their ancient lineage, their matrimonial alliances, historical associations, and the extent of their territories in the Western Highlands. These territories now include a great portion of the county of Dumbarton. Upwards of seven centuries have elapsed since Maldouen of Luss obtained from Alwyn Earl of Lennox a grant of the lands of Luss; and it is upwards of six hundred years since another Earl of Lennox granted the lands of Colquhoun to Humphrey of Kil- patrick, who afterwards assumed the name of Colquhoun. The lands and barony of Luss have never been alienated since the early grant of Alwyn Earl of Lennox. For six generations these lands were inherited by the family of Luss in the male line; and in the seventh they became the inheritance of the daughter of Godfrey of Luss, commonly designated " The Fair Maid of Luss," and, as the heiress of these lands, she vested them by her marriage, about the year 1385, in her husband, Sir Eobert Colquhoun of Colquhoun. The descendant from that marriage, and the repre sentative of the families of Colquhoun and Luss, is the present baronet, Sir James Colquhoun. The lands and barony of Colquhoun also descended in the male line of the family of Colquhoun for nearly five centuries; and although the greater part of them has been sold, portions still a VI PREFACE. -
The Functionality of Lyric in Sixteenth-Century Scotland
chapter 12 The Functionality of Lyric in Sixteenth-Century Scotland Alasdair A. MacDonald A remarkable fact in the literary history of early modern Scotland is the sud- den efflorescence of the lyric.1 Whereas in England numerous vernacular lyrics survive from the three centuries between 1200 and 1500 (to say nothing of com- positions in Anglo-Saxon which might be claimed as belonging to the genre), from Scotland there is almost nothing equivalent,2 save for sporadic and brief quotations from poems encountered in historical works,3 or else whole stanzas which, though part of longer poems, have, or can be alleged to have, a cer- tain detachability from their narrative or descriptive environments.4 It is, of course, always dangerous to proceed from an argumentum ex silentio, and it is in the nature of things likely that a corpus of Scottish vernacular lyrics did once indeed exist. The latter, however, would have subsequently disappeared from sight, as a result of such normal factors as accident, weather, vermin, and mil- itary depredation. Yet in addition to these expected forces of destruction, one additional and very specific factor was probably involved: the Protestant Ref- ormation. As the monks and friars, together with their institutions, were swept away, so the texts which they may be supposed to have copied and preserved, or the lyrics which they may have preached in their enterprise of evangelisa- tion, would have proved easy victims of organised vandalism.5 Whatever the explanation, the loss is almost total: how, then, can one be justified in speaking of an efflorescence of the lyric in the sixteenth century? 1 For their comments on an earlier draft of this essay I am much obliged to Dr Jamie Reid Baxter, Dr Theo van Heijnsbergen, and Prof. -

This thesis examines literature that because of the frequency of its printing, and social relevance, might be called prevalent examples of a tradition. The strength of these traditions over time, and the way in which they reflect values of Lowland Scottish society are also examined. Vernacular literary tradition faced a period of crisis during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and its survival seemed uncertain. Its vitality, however, was reaffirmed mainly because it was able to evolve. The actions of several key individuals were instrumental in its maintenance, but ultimately, it was the strength of the traditions themselves which proved to be most influential. -

MacDonald Anglo-Scottish Literary Relations: Problems and Possibilities One of the best recent works of scholarship on Middle Scots literature is undoubtedly Gregory Kratzmann's Anglo-Scottish Literary Relations 1430- 1550. 1 This book offers a thorough and well-argued survey of more than a century of literary production in the two adjacent medieval kingdoms, and it casts much light on many of the works held to be masterpieces of the canon. Among other excellent chapters, those in which a detailed comparison is drawn between Douglas's Palice of Honour and Chaucer's House of Fame, between the Aeneid translations of Douglas and Surrey, and between Skel ton's Magnyfycence and Lindsay's Satyre of the Thrie Estaitis, are particu larly helpful. Through its merits Kratzmann's book imposes itself as a start ing point for further discussion; the following comments therefore begin by examining some of the central theses of this book, but they go on to propose a significant broadening of the focus of critical attention, and they also take into consideration some literary texts from well into the Elizabethan Age. -

This thesis aims to demonstrate that Lindsay and his works represent an invaluable source for a much broader study of Renaissance Scotland and that placing each in a proper historical and cultural context sheds an important light on some of the ideas and attitudes which shaped Scotland's political and religious culture during this crucial period.
