If there is ocht in Scotland that’s worth ha’en
There is nae distance to which it’s unattached
(Hugh MacDiarmid)

A realignment of Scottish literary studies is long overdue. The present volume counters the relative neglect of comparative literature in Scotland by exploring the fortunes of Scottish
writing in mainland Europe, and, conversely, the engagement of Scottish literary intellectuals with European texts. Most of the contributions draw
on the online Bibliography of Scottish Literature in Translation
(http://boslit.nls.uk). Together they demonstrate the richness of the
creative dialogue, not only between writers, but also between musicians and
visual artists when they turn their attention to literature.
The contributors to this volume cover most of Europe, including the
German-speaking countries, Scandinavia, France, Catalonia, Portugal, Italy,
the Balkans, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Russia. All Scotland's major
literary languages - Gaelic, Scots, English and Latin - are featured in a
continent-wide labyrinth that will repay further exploration.
