What do we mean by 'Scottish literature'? Why does it matter? How
do we engage with it? Bringing infectious enthusiasm and a
lifetime's experience to bear on this multi-faceted literary
nation, Alan Riach, Professor of Scottish Literature at the
University of Glasgow, sets out to guide you through the varied and
ever-evolving landscape of Scottish literature. A comprehensive and
extensive work designed not only for scholars but also for the
generally curious, Scottish Literature: an introduction tells the
tale of Scotland's many voices across the ages, from Celtic
pre-history to modern mass media. Forsaking critical jargon, Riach
journeys chronologically through individual works and writers, both
the famed and the forgotten, alongside broad overviews of cultural
contexts which connect texts to their own times. Expanding the
restrictive canon of days gone by, Riach also sets down a new core
body of 'Scottish Literature': key writers and works in English,
Scots, and Gaelic. Ranging across time and genre, Scottish
Literature: an introduction invites you to hear Scotland through
her own words.
