Description
Scottish Literature: an introduction explores the diverse and evolving landscape of Scottish literature. Professor Alan Riach guides readers through the varied voices of Scotland across the ages, from Celtic pre-history to modern mass media. This comprehensive work covers individual works and writers, both famous and lesser-known, alongside broad overviews of cultural contexts that connect texts to their own times. By expanding on traditional canons, Riach presents a new core body of Scottish Literature, including key writers and works in English, Scots, and Gaelic. Through this journey through Scotland's literary heritage, readers are invited to hear the country through its own words, ranging across time and genre.
