Summary:
The
Gaelic
poet Derick Thomson alludes to the
Scottish
Gaelic
language in his poem An Tobair: "chunnaic mi lainnir a' bhuirn ud/ a ni slan gach ciurradh/ gu ruig ciurradh cridhe. - I saw the sparkle of that spring/ that makes whole every hurt/ til the hurt of the heart." The image of the well or spring is a powerful and fitting symbol in relation to the current position of
Scottish
Gaelic
language and culture, and its future potential. The essays in this volume show the depth and richness of
Gaelic
literature
. Covering topics as diverse as literary theory, translation, publishing, as well as dealing with the work of specific poets and writers, this collection highlights many of the
themes
of
Gaelic
literature
in the
20th
century
and begins to explore the direction it takes in the 21st
century
. The book originates from a conference held in the Department of Celtic and
Scottish
Studies at the University of Edinburgh in 2009 on the subject of
Gaelic
literature
in the
20th
and 21st centuries. Half of the essays were originally presented at the conference, while the other half have been submitted for this collection through invitations extended to leading scholars in the field of
Gaelic
literature
. Five of the twelve essays are written in
Gaelic
.
