Scottish Writing and Writers

by Norman Wilson (Editor), Douglas Gifford (Contributor), Albert D. Mackie (Contributor)

This survey of modern Scottish writing, covering the period from the end of World War Two, discusses trends in poetry, fiction and drama, including work in Scots and Gaelic. It also deals with the new opportunities presented by radio and television, in which the work of the writer is not always recognised.

In addition to a valuable reference list of authors and their works, Scottish Writing and Writers includes information about publishers, periodicals and the various organisations which assist in the promotion of new writing.
