Kate Macdonald is a scholar of British literary history, with a particular focus on publishing history in the late Victorian and early twentieth-century periods. She is a leading authority on the fiction of John Buchan and actively champions middlebrow studies and the recovery of forgotten authors. Her work is characterized by a deep understanding of the literary marketplace and a dedication to unearthing significant but less-celebrated works. Her interest in literary history extends to making a case for authors whose contributions have been overlooked.
This collection of edited essays delves into the works and legacy of John Buchan, a prominent novelist known for titles like "The Thirty-Nine Steps." It offers a contemporary analysis of his major fiction and non-fiction, reflecting on his literary contributions and reputation in the twenty-first century. Through various perspectives, the essays explore Buchan's themes, style, and the significance of his work within the broader context of literature.

It explores their resistance to shifts in social class, politics, women's freedoms, and professionalization, suggesting that these tensions fueled their most impactful literary creations. Through this lens, the study reveals the interplay between personal beliefs and broader social dynamics in the authors' works.
