The Picador Book of Contemporary Scottish Fiction by Peter Kravitz Pdf

‘Usually in diaspora, the intelligence of the Scots is recognized worldwide. These stories show that this capacity is now flourishing at home’ Ross Leckie, The Times ‘There could be not be a more heartening showcase of talent. A showcase, incidentally, that will remind those in need of it that in the past few decades Scottish fiction has been creating some of the most powerful, vibrant writing to be found anywhere . . . It will be a hard-hearted reader who does not emerge with a profound respect forthe imagination and scope of contemporary Scottish writing’ Rosemary Goring, Scotland on Sunday ‘It always helps to know where the editorial line of an anthology is coming from. This one, I can guarantee you, comes straight from the horse’s mouth’ Jenny Turner, Independent on Sunday ‘English north of the border is displayed in an exhilarating diversity of timbre and voice, with little sign of a cultural cringe towards standardization’ Tom Deveson, Sunday Times

Edinburgh Companion to Contemporary Scottish Literature by Berthold Schoene Pdf

The Edinburgh Companion to Contemporary Scottish Literature examines the ways in which the cultural and political role of Scottish writing has changed since the country's successful referendum on national self-rule in 1997. In doing so, it makes a convincing case for a distinctive post-devolution Scottish criticism. Introducing over forty original essays under four main headings - 'Contexts', 'Genres', 'Authors' and 'Topics' - the volume covers the entire spectrum of current interests and topical concerns in the field of Scottish studies and heralds a new era in Scottish writing, literary criticism and cultural theory. It records and critically outlines prominent literary trends and developments, the specific political circumstances and aesthetic agendas that propel them, as well as literature's capacity for envisioning new and alternative futures. Issues under discussion include class, sexuality and gender, nationhood and globalisation, the New Europe and cosmopolitan citizenship, postcoloniality,

Edinburgh Companion to Twentieth-Century Scottish Literature by Ian Brown Pdf

This volume considers the major themes, texts and authors of Scottish literature of the twentieth and, so far, twenty-first century. It identifies the contexts and impulses that led Scottish writers to adopt their creative literary strategies. Moving beyond traditional classifications, it draws on the most recent critical approaches to open up new perspectives on Scottish literature since 1900. The volume's innovative thematic structure ensures that the most important texts or authors are seen from different perspectives whether in the context of empire, renaissance, war and post-war, literary genre, generation, and resistance. In order to provide thorough coverage, these thematic chapters are complemented by chronological 'Arcade' chapters, which outline the contexts of the literature of the period by decades, and by 'Overview' chapters which trace developments across the century in theatre, language and Gaelic literature. Taken together, the chapters provide a thorough and thought-provoking account of the century's literature.
