Twentieth-Century Scottish Poetry

From early twentieth-century figures like Edwin Muir and Hugh McDiarmuid, through WS Graham and Edwin Morgan, and down to contemporary poets such as Liz Lochead, John Burnside, Kathleen Jamie, and Don Paterson, Scottish writers have composed some of the most vibrant poetry of the twentieth century. This course will explore the key works of Scottish poetry, considering their complex historical and cultural contexts, their engagement with multiple literary traditions from around the world, and their ongoing negotiations with the English language.

So we can continue to support our students, we are working towards putting this course online, by setting up live seminars that students can join through Collaborate - a tool for online meetings that is similar to making video calls.

Students joining our online courses would need access to a computer, laptop or tablet with a microphone, and a reliable broadband connection. You can join the seminars using a smartphone, but this would make viewing any presentations difficult.
