More about the book

Focusing on Scottish history plays since the 1930s, this study delves into themes of ideology, national identity, and the significance of Scottish language. It examines the contributions of prominent figures in 20th-century Scottish theatre, such as Robert McLellan and Hector MacMillan, along with other influential yet often overlooked playwrights like Stewart Conn, John McGrath, and Liz Lochhead. The book highlights the interplay between historiography and mythology while addressing key developments up to the end of World War Two.
