Reviews

In Kirkyard Romanticism, Sharp transcends the national to make a significant contribution to nationhood theory, as well as 19th-century Scottish literature and politics. Summing Up: Highly recommended. -- J. Walker, emeritus, Queen's University at Kingston * CHOICE * Sarah Sharp’s brilliant account of a Blackwood’s-based 'Kirkyard School' of fiction shows how Romantic-era Scotland figured as a repository for regional values at risk of being forgotten in modernity’s sweep. In so doing, the book helpfully reconnects the period with a longer nineteenth century history of both literary and colonial engagements with the dead. -- Anthony Jarrells, University of South Carolina
