- W156907735 abstract "Apart from a radical insensitivity to literature itself, probably the most reprehen sible variety of literary scholarship is that which isolates and claims as unique charac teristics of a national literature which are derived from or shared with other traditions, other countries, other languages. Particularly is this the case with the Renaissance, where confident assertions of local superiority or uniqueness can so easily indeed should be undermined by comparative study. In English studies, a clear case in point would be the poetry of John Donne which looks (depending on one's point of view) as either strikingly original or freakish until Donne is set in the context of developments in late European Petr ar chismo. Another more subtle but important example is the subject of the present paper. It involves the confrontation of less obvious ethnic, linguistic and national differences but it exemplifies essentially the potential for the same kind of cultural generalization and isolationism. I refer to the confrontation (and partial merging) that occurred in the early seventeenth century between English and Scottish court literatures and to subsequent ignorance (ad mittedly, mainly from the English side) of the consequences of the confrontation. In presenting one example of the phenomenon, I am hoping to open up the possibi lity of further such comparative studies. My chosen example is Sir William Alexander, Earl of Stirling (1577-1640), variously a courtier, politician, colonizer, poet, and the living embodiment , as his modern biographer puts it, of.. .the uniting of two nations under the one king 1. He was associated with the cultural avant-garde of the court of James VI of Scotland in the 1590s, and had written a theological tract, a Petrarchan sonnet sequence and the first of his four Senecan tragedies before he accompanied James southward to England in 1603. While nobody would want to claim him as an author of the first rank, never theless from minor authors we often learn much about the profound cultural and in tellectual movements of an age, and just as important, those less easily definable currents of feeling that underlie the age's more obvious dynamics. Minor authors are of special interest, too, when we are considering matters of cultural change and fa shion to which they may be more passively responsive than major writers. This, at least, is the spirit with which I shall approach Alexander's work." @default.
