Luath Press Ltd. 2022 734 pages. Paperback.
A comprehensive and extensive work designed not only for scholors but also for 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. Forsaking critical jargon, Riach journeys chronologically through individual works and writers, both the famed and the forgotten, alongside broad overviews of cultural contexts which connect texts to their own times. Expanding the restictive 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.
