Kennedy and Boyd are pleased to continue their four series: Nineteenth-Century Scottish Women’s Fiction, Twentieth-Century Scottish Women’s Fiction, Scottish Fiction: The Male Canon and The Kailyard Authors. The first three series are edited by Dr. Anne McManus Scriven, Honorary Research Fellow for the Centre for Scottish Cultural Studies, University of Strathclyde. The fourth series is edited by Dr. Andrew Nash, University of Reading.These new series start to address a gap in the availability of Scottish writing by republishing texts currently out of print and much missed by the academic, the researcher, the school-teacher, and the Scottish diaspora.
Each series is identified by a distinctive cover colour but each title features an image relevant to the content of the text.
