Aprašymas

This is the first collection of edited essays on the novelist John Buchan (1875-1940), author of, among many other works, The Thirty-Nine Steps (1915), Witch Wood (1927) and Sick Heart River (1940). Over fifteen established scholars reconsider Buchan's writing and reputation from the perspective of the twenty-first century. Beyond The Thirty-Nine Steps examines all Buchan's major fiction and non-fictional writing, and builds on an increasing interest from the academy in positioning Buchan as a strong creative force in Scottish and English literature, politics and public life, from the fin-de-siecle to the Second World War. Several of his key works are examined from multiple perspectives, and new research is incorporated into established traditions.
