A provisional re-mapping of Scotland's post-devolution literary culture, these fifteen essays explore how literature, theatre and visual art have both shaped and reflected the 'new Scotland' promised by parliamentary devolution. Chapters explore leading figures such as Alasdair Gray, David Greig, Kathleen Jamie and Jackie Kay, while also paying particular attention to women's writing by Kate Atkinson, A. L. Kennedy, Denise Mina, Ali Smith, Louise Welsh, and writers of colour such as Bashabi Fraser, Annie George, Tendai Huchu, Chin Li and Raman Mundair. Tracing continuities with 1990s debates alongside 'edges of the new' visible since Indyref 2014, these critics offer an in-depth study of Scotland's vibrant literary production in the period of devolution, viewed both within and beyond the frame of national representation.
Marie-Odile Pittin-Hedon is Professor of British Literature at Aix-Marseille Université (AMU). Her research focuses on 20th- and 21st-century Scottish fiction. She is the author of The Space of Fiction: Voices from Scotland in a Post-devolution Age (2015), Alasdair Gray: Marges et Effets de Miroirs (2004) and has contributed a chapter to Alasdair Gray: Ink for Worlds, ed. Camille Manfredi (2014). She is also the editor of Women and Scotland: Literature, Culture, Politics (2020) and, with Camille Manfredi and Scott Hames, of Scottish Writing after the Devolution: Edges of the New (2022). Camille Manfredi is Professor of Scottish literature at the University of Western Brittany. She is the author of Alasdair Gray: le faiseur d’Ecosse (2012) and Nature and Space in Contemporary Scottish Writing and Art (2019), editor of Alasdair Gray: Ink for Worlds (2014), and co-editor, with Marie-Odile Pittin-Hedon and Scott Hames, of Scottish Writing After Devolution: Edges of the New (2022). Scott Hames is Senior Lecturer in Scottish Literature at the University of Stirling, and author of The Literary Politics of Scottish Devolution (EUP, 2020), which draws extensively on post-1960s magazines and their debates. With Malcolm Petrie, he led the AHRC-funded Scottish Magazines Network on which this book is based. With Eleanor Bell, he co-founded the International Journal of Scottish Literature. He has edited or co-edited closely related volumes on Scottish Writing After Devolution (EUP, 2022), Unstated: Writers on Scottish Independence (Word Power, 2012) and The Edinburgh Companion to James Kelman (EUP, 2010).
