The first major study of the relationship between Scottish Romanticism and medical cultureIn the early nineteenth century, Edinburgh was the leading centre of medical education and research in Britain. It also laid claim to a thriving periodical culture. Literature and Medicine in the Nineteenth-Century Periodical Press investigates how Romantic periodicals cultivated innovative literary forms, ideologies and discourses that reflected and shaped medical culture in the nineteenth century. It examines several medically-trained contributors to Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, the most influential literary periodical of the time, and draws upon extensive archival and bibliographical research to reclaim these previously neglected medico-literary figures. Situating their work in relation to developments in medical and periodical culture, Megan Coyer’s book advances our understanding of how the nineteenth-century periodical press cross-fertilised medical and literary ideas.

In the final years of James Hogg's life, Fraser's Magazine for Town and Country became the most important outlet for his shorter writings, usurping the previous centrality of Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine. This volume collects for the first time his many and various contributions to the magazine and presents them in a reliable scholarly form, complete with a wide-ranging introduction, explanatory notes, appendices and glossary. Building on other volumes in The Stirling / South Carolina Research Edition, Contributions to Fraser's Magazine highlights Hogg's expansion into the London literary marketplace and his reception as a Scottish author south of the Tweed, as well as the beginnings of his posthumous memorialisation.
