'Walter Scott and Modernity' by Andrew Lincoln
Andrew Lincoln's research interests include enlightenment social theory, the culture of romanticism, comparative mythology and modern fiction. He has recently completed a book, Walter Scott and Modernity, which shows how current issues of debate - from relations between Western and Islamic cultures, to the political significance of the private conscience in a liberal society - are anticipated in the Romantic era. He has edited Blake's Songs of Innocence and of Experience in the Blake Trust series (1991), and has published Spiritual History (OUP 1995), which explored the relationship between biblical tradition and enlightenment social theory in Blake's visionary epic, The Four Zoas. His continuing research on William Blake focuses in particular on Blake's relationship with enlightenment culture. He is also exploring the justification of war in British culture from the late-seventeenth century to the Napoleonic period.
