reviewed The Mighty Scot: Nation, Gender, and the Nineteenth-Century Mystique of Scottish Masculinity on September 18, 2011 The Mighty Scot: Nation, Gender, and the Nineteenth-Century Mystique of Scottish Masculinity
This book serves as a good seminar in general English studies. The author keeps a light tone throughout, but also incorporates examples that add insight to the topics he discusses. I recommend it for any who want a brief overview of directions they could go in studying the subject.
