Community in Modern Scottish Literature (Bilingual) (Hardcover)
about this item
This book searches for what community means and the ways it is represented in Scottish literature from the late nineteenth to the early twenty-first century. This first survey of its kind, the contributions cover a wide terrain, focusing on more than just national community. In the context of the increasing autonomy of the present, Lyall cites community as a highly pertinent contemporary issue. Questions considered include: Is community exclusionary, a means of dividing people and keeping out the unwanted? and Does community, understood as a sense of togetherness and shared values, even exist in our time of capitalist individualism and national borders?
