National Literature Education in Scottish Universities during the Renaissance Period

Abstract

During the Renaissance period, Scottish universities made significant achievements in the field of national literature education. This paper first reviews the origins and development of Scottish universities, exploring the educational philosophies of the Renaissance, particularly the impact of humanism on education. It then analyzes the curriculum and teaching methods of literary education in Scottish universities, and examines the status of national literature within these institutions by introducing key writers and works of the period. The paper further elaborates on the specific measures, achievements, and challenges faced in the implementation of national literature education at Scottish universities. Finally, it summarizes the influence of Renaissance-era Scottish university literature education on modern literary education and proposes insights for contemporary educational reform. This study aims to provide valuable experiences and references for modern education through the examination of national literature education at Scottish universities.
