Book Description
The proximity of the province of Ulster to Scotland has resulted in a lively confluence of peoples, ideas and cultures for many centuries. This has been recorded in an abundance of texts that express Ulster's complex and dynamic relationship with Scotland. This anthology of Ulster-Scots writing charts the breadth and diversity of Scottish influences upon Ulster writing from the 17th century to the present day. For the first time, this is explored through literary prose, poetry and drama and a number of other important genres - philosophy, political and polemical texts, sermons, historiography, Ã?Â?Ã?Â?autobiographies and folk writings. The collection records how familiar and less well-known Ulster writers negotiate Scottish inheritances in their work. As well as introducing readers to significant works, the anthology offers fully annotated texts with biographical notices of each author. The book is aimed at all those interested in the cultural, linguistic and literary history of Ulster. It provides a timely contribution to debates on Ulster-Scots language, identity and heritage and celebrates a significant literary tradition.

Book Description
This is the first full-length study of the extraordinary period of intense poetic activity in Belfast known as the Ulster Renaissance - a time when young Northern Irish poets such as Seamus Heaney, Derek Mahon, Michael Longley, James Simmons, and Paul Muldoon began crafting their art, and tuning their voices through each other. Drawing extensively upon new archival material, as well as personal interviews and correspondence, The Ulster Renaissance argues that these poets' friendships and rivalries were crucial to their autonomous artistic development. The book also sheds new light on the idea of a collaborative Belfast coterie - often treated derisively by critics - and shows that the poets frequently engaged in efforts to promote a cohesive 'Northern' literary community, distinct from that which existed in London and Dublin. It suggests that it was this cohesion - at turns inclusive and confining - which ultimately challenged the Belfast poets to find their individual voices.
