Riassunto

The novelist Neil M. Gunn is perhaps best remembered for his evocative accounts of Highland life. But here, Richard Price goes beyond this to provide a comprehensive study of all Gunn's novels, as well as a detailed account of the literary context within which he worked. Enriched by reference to his poetry, short stories, essays and letters, it traces Gunn's work from his angry beginnings as a Highland writer, through to his assimilation of modernism in the 1930s and the political themes of his wartime 'fables' to show how the narrative ingenuity of his later works delivers a searching scrutiny of brutality and intellectual vanity.
