For a Breath of Air: Scottishness in the Writing of Kathleen Jamie

Original language description

The paper focuses on Scottish features that permeate the work of Kathleen Jamie(b. 1962). Her Scottishness is manifested in poetry, prose, and travel non-fiction.Jamie draws upon the tradition of landscape literature and theories of imagination of the English Romantic poets. The article investigates Jamie's affinity to the Scottish countryside as manifested in her lyric poetry and in a series of personal essays in her non-fiction volume Findings. Another theme discussed by the article is Jamie's choiceof language -her use of Scots as compared to the use of standard English. The essayalso analyzes Jamie's exploration of the relationship of poetry and science. The poetic process of imagination is contrasted in her writings with scientific observation. In the final section, Jamie's interest in her own heritage is explored in texts that juxtapose Scottish culture with the cultures of Pakistan, Tibet, and China.
