Description

Ecology and Modern Scottish Literature presents a fresh perspective on Scotland's literary heritage. Louisa Gairn explores how successive generations of writers have engaged with ecological thought, reflecting both its development and influence on their work. Through provocative re-readings of key authors, including Robert Louis Stevenson, John Muir, Nan Shepherd, John Burnside, Kathleen Jamie, and George Mackay Brown, this book reveals the significance of ecology in Scottish literary culture. By tracing the evolution of ecological ideas in literature from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, Gairn offers a compelling new outlook on Scotland's literary landscape. In an era of environmental crisis, Ecology and Modern Scottish Literature sheds light on a vital heritage that is both relevant to Scottish literary culture and the wider field of green studies.
