Books, Manuscripts
The twentieth-century Scottish Renaissance saw a sudden and dramatic change in Scotland's literary landscape. Beginning in the 1920s, Scottish writers increasingly engaged with contemporary social and political issues, and with questions of national identity. An integral part of this development was the radically new literary status accorded to the Scots language. On any showing, the scale and quality of this movement is a phenomenon rarely paralleled in literary history. 'A Kist o Skinklan Things' contains a selection of the best work from this great period.
