About this Event


What do we mean by ‘Scottish literature’?

Why does it matter?

How do we engage with it?

Bringing infectious enthusiasm and a lifetime’s experience of this many-faced literary nation, Alan Riach, Professor of Scottish Literature at the University of Glasgow, will guide you through the varied and ever-evolving landscape of Scottish literature.

A book for scholars and the generally curious, Scottish Literature: an Introduction tells the tale of Scotland’s many voices across the ages, from Celtic pre-history to modern mass media. Expanding the restrictive canon of days gone by, Riach also sets down a new core body of ‘Scottish Literature’: key writers and works in English, Scots, and Gaelic.
