Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Takes up Willy Maley's recent critique of Scottish university literature teaching (in SSL 38) and argues that Scottish creative writing, especially the crime novels that James Ellroy labelled Tartan Noir, has stimulated new critical readings of such earlier Scottish writers as James Hogg and Robert Louis Stevenson.
