Uniting Scottish Literature

27th Feb 2026
3:00pm - 4:00pm
Venue:
Meeting Room 3, 7th floor, Sir Duncan Rice Library
University of Aberdeen, Bedford Road, Aberdeen, AB24 3AA

We will examine the importance of translations between Gaelic and Scots in reinforcing the changed perception of “Scottish literature” from a marginal branch of English literature to an autonomous national literature in three languages.

Nì sinn sgrùdadh air cho cudromach ‘s a tha eadar-theangachaidhean eadar Gàidhlig agus Scots ann a bhith a’ neartachadh an atharrachaidh air beachd air “litreachas na h-Alba” bho bhith na mheur iomallach de litreachas Beurla gu bhith na litreachas nàiseanta fèin-riaghlaidh ann an trì cànanan.”
