This innovative book proposes the expansion of the existing idea of
an interwar Scottish Renaissance movement to include its
international significance as a Scottish literary modernism
interacting with the intellectual and artistic ideas of European
modernism as well as responding to the challenges of the Scottish
cultural and political context. Topics range from the
revitalisation of the Scots vernacular as an avant-garde literary
language in the 1920s and the interaction of literature and
politics in the 1930s to the fictional re-imagining of the
Highlands, the response of women writers to a changing modern world
and the manifestations of a late modernism in the 1940s and 1950s.
Writers featured include Hugh MacDiarmid, Lewis Grassic Gibbon,
Neil M. Gunn, Edwin and Willa Muir, Catherine Carswell, Sydney
Goodsir Smith and Sorley MacLean. Key Features *The first study of
a Scottish modernism extending in its impact to the 1950s and
drawing on influences from British and European modernism *Original
perspectives on the literature of the period through discussion of
a range of writers and writing genres *Detailed consideration of
the work of women writers in the context of modernism and in their
response to social change *A contribution to the expansion of the
idea of modernism in its focus both on the modernist artist's role
in social and national renewal and on writing from the peripheries
of small town, rural and island cultures in contrast to
metropolitan culture
