History of Art and Scottish Literature

About this course

The combination of art history and Scottish literature at the University of Edinburgh is an unusual pairing that rewards the kind of mind that is comfortable moving between visual and textual ways of understanding the world. Art history is the critical study of images, objects, and spaces across time and culture, asking not only what things look like but what they mean, how they were made, who made them and for whom, and how they have been interpreted differently across generations. Scottish literature brings into focus a literary tradition of remarkable richness and distinctiveness, from the medieval makars through the Enlightenment, the Romantic poets and novelists, and the vigorous twentieth-century renaissance associated with writers such as Hugh MacDiarmid and Lewis Grassic Gibbon, to the internationally recognised contemporary fiction and poetry produced in Scotland today.
