Spinning Scotland: Exploring Literary and Cultural Perspectives
A selection of papers arising from the Spinning Scotland conference hosted by the postgraduate students of the Department of Scottish Literature in the Wolfson Medical Building, University of Glasgow, Saturday 13 September 2008. Responding to the call for further collaborative research in the field of Scottish Literature, the conference employed the metaphor of the fabric of the Scottish nation - the collaboration between literature, culture, language, history and thought - to engage with the rich texture of Scotland's literary output.
