Scottish Literature Course

The Scottish Literature module covers Scottish Modernism during the first week and moves on to examine Post-Modern to Contemporary Scottish Literature during the second. The reading list includes poetry by Hugh MacDiarmid and Edwin Morgan, plays by John McGrath, Gregory Burke and Liz Lochhead, and fiction by Lewis Grassic Gibbon, Muriel Spark and Alasdair Gray. The reading list for 2012 can be found here.

Alan Riach's publication What Is Scottish Literature offers a concise introduction to everyone curious about this field.

Current developments in Scottish Studies can be followed via the University of Glasgow's publication Bottle Imp.
