Storytelling Scotland: A Nation in Narrative

Storytelling Scotland: A Nation in Narrative looks at the role of oral storytelling and memory in Scottish culture, tracing the tradition back to earliest times and bringing us up to date with its presence in contemporary Scotland. Whilst mapping the history of Scotland's storytelling traditions and selecting key stories, the author looks at the wider context of storytelling, Scotland's cultural inheritance and storytelling's role in shaping Scotland's identity, as well as the construction of our accepted interpretations of history.
