  6. A colleague is asking about a biography that included an anecdote John Gibson #Lockhart used to tell about Walter #Scott. It was something like a visitor came to see Scott, and saw the author himself through a window, but only saw his hand (writing)? Anyone remember where this story is related? @scotlit @bookstodon #ScottishStudies

  7. Currently reading Deborah A Stone's The Disabled State and thinking about the overlap between vagrancy and #disability in #WalterScott's The Black Dwarf #ScottishStudies #Romanticism #MedHums

  8. BARS Digital Event - Re-Awakening the Harp of the North: New Approaches to Walter Scott

    Thursday December 8th, 5pm to 6:30pm UK Time

    This roundtable is comprised of scholars working within the Walter Scott Research Centre, University of Aberdeen. Following on from the Scott 250 celebrations and the award of a major AHRC grant to edit Scott’s poetry and engage new audiences, our proposed event aims to provide an insight into ongoing scholarship and new developments in Scott studies. This session will offer a brief insight into the work of the WSRC and the ways in which its editorial work enables new ways of thinking about Scott, the networks in which he operated, and his relationship to Romanticism.

    Our speakers will be Alison Lumsden (University of Aberdeen), Nadia Faconti-Christodoulou (University of Aberdeen), Anna Fancett (University of Aberdeen), Kate Ferrier (University of Aberdeen), Natalie Tal Harries (University of Aberdeen).

  10. #DisabilityResearchForum Arianna Introna now presenting on their book, 'Crip Enchantments: Autonomist Narratives of #Disability in Modern #Scottish Narrative.' We usually start with premise that capitalism is a problem for disability. Turning that around: how can we be a problem for capitalism & normalcy? Non-normative bodies & minds clashing with structures - "crip enchantments." How Scottish writing imagines disability this way. #DisabilityStudies #LiteraryStudies #ScottishStudies 1/
