The first is the early historical novel, specifically that published in Scotland in the early decades of the nineteenth-century, particularly the work of Walter Scott and the Waverley Novels. From that point of departure, I have researched extensively on a similar but rather underestimated genre, the National Tale. This led me to examine the figure of Christian Isobel Johnstone, a contemporary of Scott, who also wrote historical fiction, in particular, the four volume Clan-Albin (1815), yet from a slightly different angle: a more rigorous approach to examining Highland life, an examination of conflict in a more European context, and a more overtly pacificist angle. I prepared the first modern edition of her novel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Historical Tale, as is common knowledge, deals extensively with national identity and nation-building or destruction: wars and their outcome decide the fate of the state. Hence, I have turned my attention to more recent accounts of conflict and their extension into periods of peace and general culture, as Clausewitz so astutely predicted would become the norm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Selected publications:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2023 (forthcoming) \u201cRunning into Memories in the Work of Viet Thanh Nguyen.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2016 .\u201cThe Trope of War in Lewis Grassic Gibbon&#8217;s Sunset Song&#8221;.
