Description
Douglas Dunn's Twentieth-century Scottish Poetry is a landmark anthology that redefined the literary landscape of Scotland in the 20th century. First published in 1992, this collection brought together a wide range of modern Scottish poetry, showcasing the work of writers who were pushing the boundaries of language and form. Prior to its publication, the full scope of modern Scottish poetry was not well understood, with many notable works being overlooked or undervalued. Dunn's anthology addressed this gap in the literary canon, providing a comprehensive overview of the period and introducing readers to a wealth of new writing. The result is a rich and diverse collection that celebrates the unique voice and vision of Scotland's modern poets.
