The Scottish Sixties: Reading, Rebellion, Revolution?

Although A Number Of Publications Have Appeared In Recent Years Marking The Importance Of The ‘swinging Sixties’, Many Tend To Be Personally Reflective In Nature And London-centric In Their Coverage. By Contrast, The Scottish Sixties: Reading, Rebellion, Revolution? Addresses This Misrepresentation And In So Doing Fills A Gap In Both Scottish And British Literary And Cultural Studies. Through A Series Of Academic Analyses Based On Archival Records, Ephemera And Work Produced During The 1960s, This Volume Focuses Uniquely On Scotland. In Its Concern With Some Of The Key Figures Of Scottish Cultural Life, The Book Considers Amongst Other Topics The Implications Of Censorship, The Role Of Little Magazines In Shaping Cultural Debates, The Radical Nature Of Much Scottish Literature Of The Time, Developments In The Avant-garde And The Role Of Experiment In Theatre, Film, Tv, Fine Art And Music.
