This comprehensive guide to Scottish Literature combines detailed literary history with discussion of contemporary debates about Scottishness.

Scottish poetry dates back to the middle ages. Its characteristic marks are energy, wit, satire and-especially in Gaelic - passionate lyrical intensity. Most readers of English poetry are familiar with Irish writing in English, less so with Scots. This volume will add a whole new dimension to their experience of the unparalleled heritage of great poetry produced in these islands. The collection contains all the poets everyone has heard of - Burns, Stevenson, MacDiarmid,Henryson, Scott, Drummond of Hawthornden - and many more beside, including writers from the current renaissance in Scottish poetry.
