Overview
Key Features
Over the course of more than a century of literary innovation, students examine the richness and diversity of English, Irish, and Scottish texts, studied alongside recent developments in literary theory.
Each day begins with a one-hour lecture delivered by an esteemed guest scholar, providing in-depth analysis of the critical, theoretical, and historical contexts surrounding the literature. These lectures are followed by two-hour seminars, where students engage in lively group discussions to deepen their understanding and interpretation of the texts.
Scottish Literature from Scottish Universities' International Summer School reading list includes poetry by Hugh MacDiarmid, Liz Lochhead and Edwin Morgan, plays by John McGrath and Gregory Burke, and fiction by Lewis Grassic Gibbon, Muriel Spark and Alasdair Gray. 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.
