Edinburgh Festivals - Stuart Campbell & Dairmid Gunn

LITERATURE AND CULTURE

Fresh perspectives on leading Scottish writers. Stuart Campbell makes a powerful case for recognising Robert Louis Stevenson as a love poet, a restless man constantly struggling with romance and lust, invariably attracted to unobtainable or unsuitable women. Dairmid Gunn presents a different side to Neil Gunn - although renowned as a novelist, he is less well-known as a perceptive essayist who wrote on subjects from landscape, nature and the sea to literature, politics and matters of the spirit.
