Description - Reassessing John Buchan: Beyond the Thirty Nine Steps by Kate Macdonald

This is the first collection of edited essays on the novelist John Buchan (1875-1940), author of The Thirty-Nine Steps (1915), Witch Wood (1927) and Sick Heart River (1940) among many other works. Eighteen established scholars reconsider Buchan's writing and reputation from the perspective of the twenty-first century. Reassessing John Buchan examines all Buchan's major fiction and non-fiction writing, and builds on an increasing interest from the academic world 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.
