Publisher's Synopsis
Over the past three decades, it is commonly argued, Scotland achieved 'a form of cultural autonomy in the absence of its political equivalent' (Murray Pittock) - a transformation led by its novelists, poets and dramatists. So why, then, is the debate over Scottish independence much less passionate and imaginative? This book sets the question of independence within the more radical horizons which inform the work of 27 writers and activists based in Scotland.
