Thomas Sydserf (or St. Serfe) has been described as 'a one-man cultural movement'. In a 'culturally barren' midseventeenth-century Scotland, he produced: two translations from French; potentially the first-ever Scottish newspaper; an array of weird and wonderful pamphlets; and a play, which he staged at his Edinburgh playhouse (itself probably Scotland's first modern theatre). A staunch royalist, he also served under the famous Montrose. My PhD will provide the first summative study of Sydserf's entire oeuvre, assessing his place in Scottish literary history by asking why he wrote and what he imagined literature, in times of great upheaval, could do.

托马斯·西斯特夫（Thomas Sydserf）（或圣塞尔夫（St. Serfe））被描述为“单人文化运动”。他在“文化贫瘠”的17世纪苏格兰中产生了：两次法语翻译；可能是有史以来第一家苏格兰报纸；一系列怪异而奇妙的小册子；还有他在爱丁堡剧场（本身可能是苏格兰的第一个现代剧院）上演的戏剧。他是一个坚定的保皇党，他还在著名的蒙特罗斯（Montrose）任职。我的博士学位将对Sydserf的整个作品提供首次总结性研究，并询问他为何写作以及他想象的文学（在巨大的动荡时期）可以做到的，评估了他在苏格兰文学史上的地位。
