'The 600,000 men who fought in Scottish regiments or in the Navy and Air Force during the Great War fought for Scotland, to them a palpable space of affect and meaning. This important book of essays breaks new ground in capturing the ways that the Great War reconfigured the boundaries between Scottish and British culture.' Jay Winter, Yale University Explores the connections between Scottish writing and World War I This book highlights the variety of literary, social, political and philosophical reverberations of the war in Scottish writing. Part one of the collection presents multi-text case studies of areas such as Scottish Great War prose, popular literature, women's letters to the editor, Gaelic writing and philosophy. Part two contains essays devoted to individual authors, including canonical figures such as Lewis Grassic Gibbon, Nan Shepherd, Neil Gunn and John Buchan, as well as peripheral authors such as A. C. Mackinlay, Charles Murray and Ewart Alan Mackintosh. David A. Rennie an Honorary Research Associate of the Centre for the Novel, University of Aberdeen.
