From Treasure Island to Trainspotting Scotland's rich literary tradition has influenced writing across centuries and cultures far beyond its borders. Here for the first time is a single volume presenting the glories of fifteen centuries of Scottish literature. In Scotland's Books poet Robert Crawford tells the story of Scottish writing and its relationship to the country's history. Stretching from the medieval masterpiece of St Columba's Iona - the earliest surviving Scottish work - to the imaginative thriving world of twenty-first-century writing with authors such as Ali Smith and James Kelman this outstanding collection traces the development of literature in Scotland and explores the cultural linguistic and literary heritage of the nation. It includes extracts from the writing discussed to give a flavour of the original work full quotations in their own language previously unpublished works by authors and plenty of new research. Informative and readable this is the definitive guide to the marvellous legacy of Scottish literature.
