Scottish Literature - An Introduction

Alan Riach

Maison d'édition: Luath Press

Synopsis

What do we mean by 'Scottish literature'?
Why does it matter?
How do we engage with it?
Bringing infectious enthusiasm and a lifetime's experience to bear on this multi-faceted literary nation, Alan Riach, Professor of Scottish Literature at the University of Glasgow, sets out to guide you through the varied and ever-evolving landscape of Scottish literature.
A comprehensive and extensive work designed not only for scholars but also for the generally curious, Scottish Literature: an introduction tells the tale of Scotland's many voices across the ages, from Celtic pre-history to modern mass media. Forsaking critical jargon, Riach journeys chronologically through individual works and writers, both the famed and the forgotten, alongside broad overviews of cultural contexts which connect texts to their own times. Expanding the restrictive canon of days gone by, Riach also sets down a new core body of 'Scottish Literature': key writers and works in English, Scots, and Gaelic.
Ranging across time and genre, Scottish Literature: an introduction invites you to hear Scotland through her own words.

Simplicity Cannot Be Found...

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Simplicity cannot be found unless one is free inwardly - 24 July 1949 
• Only when the mind and heart are really simple is one able to solve the many problems that confront us. 
• A religious man is he who is inwardly simple. 
• Q: I have been a member of various religious organizations but you have 
destroyed them all. I am utterly bored and work because hunger forces me to 
it. I am afraid to commit suicide. What on earth am I to do? 
• Q: What have you to say to a person who, in quiet moments, sees the truth of 
what you say, who has a longing to keep awake but who finds himself repeatedly lost in a sea of impulse and small desires?

Hidden Brilliance - Redefining...

John Harpoon

Genius is often perceived through a narrow lens, typically defined by extraordinary achievements, groundbreaking discoveries, or exceptional skills. However, this traditional view of genius overlooks many individuals whose brilliance remains hidden from the mainstream. The nature of genius is far more complex and multifaceted than society tends to acknowledge. It exists not only in those who are celebrated publicly but also in those whose contributions go unnoticed or unrecognized due to societal limitations or biases. 
At its core, genius is about exceptional intellectual capacity, but this capacity can manifest in many different ways. It is not always about creating world-changing inventions or becoming a famous name. For many, genius lies in quiet innovation, subtle insights, and the ability to solve problems in unique and unconventional ways. It can be seen in the person who finds creative solutions to everyday challenges or in the thinker who makes a significant impact in a specific, narrow field of knowledge, even if that knowledge doesn’t capture the world’s attention.

Raided by the Roman Soldiers...

Archer Vale

I have a secret—something that’s consuming my life. 
Strength…it’s what matters most in the military. If you’re skinny and weak like me, then you need allies. You need to prove your worth. 
You go into the woods with more powerful men. 
You open your mouth and thank them while they use you. 
Then you go back to camp and cook their food. You make their beds. You fall to your knees and beg to do it all again tomorrow. 
That’s how life is for boys like us. We’re born to be controlled. 
It’s natural.

The Life & Teaching Of Gautama...

Sripad Jagannatha Dasa And The...

The Buddha, also known as Siddhārtha Gautama, was a philosopher, mendicant, meditator, spiritual teacher, and religious leader who lived in Ancient India. He is revered as the founder of Buddhism. He taught for around forty five years and built a large following, both monastic and lay. His teaching is based on his insight into suffering and the end of such – the state called Nirvana.Prince Gautama was born into an aristocratic family but eventually joined the renounced order of life. After several years of mendicancy, meditation, and asceticism, he awakened to understand the workings of the cycle of rebirth and how it can be escaped. The Buddha then traveled widely teaching. He taught the middle way between sensual indulgence and severe asceticism. He taught a training of the mind that included self-restraint, and meditative practices such as mindfulness. The Buddha also critiqued the practices of Brahmin priests, such as animal sacrifice.Here is the illumined heart of his divine timeless teachings.
