Politics and the Scottish Language collects for the first time Macdonald Daly's many essays on literature and culture (with politics never far away).As well as the title essay, which uniquely maps choices in the literary usage of Scottish accent and dialect onto demonstrable political perspectives, it encompasses discussions of fiction by Elizabeth Gaskell, H. G. Wells, John Herdman, George Orwell, Anthony Burgess and Ellis Sharp. Daly's grounbdbreaking essay on Scottish poets of the First World War is also included. The work of literary critics and theorists such as Harold Bloom, Raymond Williams, Richard Hoggart and Fredric Jameson is critically scrutinised. The book closes with four signature essays addressing contemporary issues in which culture and politics collide, including Daly's singular analysis of the rôle of tabloid newspapers in the 1992 UK General Election.

The skillful use of the Scots language has long been a distinguishing feature of the literatures of Scotland. The essays in this volume make a major contribution to our understanding of the Scots language, past and present, and its written dissemination in poetry, fiction and drama, and in non-literary texts, such as personal letters. They cover aspects of the development of a national literature in the Scots language, and they also give due weight to its international dimension by focusing on translations into Scots from languages as diverse as Greek, Latin and Chinese, and by considering the spread of written Scots to Northern Ireland, the United States of America and Australia. Many of the essays respond to and extend the scholarship of J. Derrick McClure, whose considerable impact on Scottish literary and linguistic studies is surveyed and assessed in this volume.

In Small-language Fates and Prospects Nancy C. Dorian gathers findings from decades of documenting an endangered Scottish Gaelic dialect, presenting detailed evidence of contraction and loss but also recording a positive role for imperfect speakers. Retention of language skills undervalued by linguists but positively viewed by the community has supported the survival of local Gaelic-English bilingualism well beyond early predictions. Nonetheless, potent factors that threaten small-language survival everywhere have also operated here. Negative social attitudes towards the minority population, loss of a traditional occupation, the increasing impact of majority-culture ideologies, are recurrent phenomena in small-language settings. Maintenance or revitalization efforts pose special challenges under these circumstances, as does fieldwork itself when adverse sociohistorical forces have left very few fluent speakers.
