Book Description
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. While 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.
