Abstract

Scottish literary criticism typically ignores potential “queer readings” of canonical texts. Subjects such as crossdressing in Walter Scott’s Redgauntlet and the homoeroticism of Muriel Spark’s The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie have been ignored by orthodox interpreters. That these potential readings have been suppressed indicates the prohibitions and taboos involved in the formation of the Scottish canon.
