Rövid leírás:

Speech and writing form the basis of much modern critical thinking, but there is little consensus about what they are or whether there is any essential difference between them. This book argues that the differences between speech and writing are created by social forces and explores how these differences act as a foundation for the literary construction of national identity in the particular context of 19th-century Scottish fiction, through the novels and stories of four key writers: Walter Scott, James Hogg, R.L. Stevenson and Margaret Oliphant.

This book explores the concepts of nationality and culture in the context of nineteenth-century Scottish fiction, through the writing of Walter Scott, James Hogg, R. L. Stevenson, and Margaret Oliphant. It describes the relationship between speech writing as a foundation of the literary construction of a particular national identity, exploring how orality and literacy are figured in nineteenth-century preoccupations with the definition of `culture'. It further examines the importance of romance revival in the ascendancy of the novel and the development of that genre across a century which saw the novel stripped of its female associations and accorded a masculine authority, touching on the sexualization of language in the discourse between women's narrative (oral) and men's narrative (written).
The books importance for literary studies lies in the investigation of some of the consequences of deconstruction. It explores how the speech/writing opposition is open to the influence of social and material forces. Focusing on the writing of Scott, Hogg, Stevenson, and Oliphant, it looks at the conflicts in narratological experiments in Scottish writing, constructions of class and gender, the effects of popular literacy and the material condition of books as artefacts and commodities. This book is the first to offer a broad picture of the interaction of Scottish fiction and modern theoretical thinking, taking its roots from a combination of deconstruction, narrative theory, the history of orality, linguistics and psychoanalysis.

Penny Fielding's Writing and Orality is a highly stimulating and accomplished contribution to work in this field, and to the study of nineteenth-century Scottish fiction. Succinctly written and lucidly developed, its range is broad - as the title suggests - but its details are finely rendered and its interpretations acute ... both theoretically and historically informed, often with an impressive grasp of detail and an eye for the unusual text ... It will be required reading for anyone interested in nineteenth-century Scottish literature and in more general questions about literature's engagement with its spoken other.
