Description

This book, which is written by Andrew Lang's tendency to position himself, and his Scottish identity, within his writing, as exemplified in The Gold of Fairnilee and A Creelfull of Celtic Stories. It argues that Lang reflects desire, not as a longing for his own childhood home, but instead for the imagining of Scotland as the border of or parallel to the fairy realm. The chapter provides a brief account of Lang's theories on universality, as defined in his texts on anthropology and in the prefaces to his Fairy Book collection.
