Scottish Stories in a Demotic-Idiom,
By Dag Stomberg (St. Andrews, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Oxford Book of Scottish Short Stories (Paperback)
Meaningful cross-section of first rate literary potpourri of someof Scotland's short prose narratives. (Did Sir Walter Scott write the first short story? Probably!). Vernacular short fiction has come along way in a relative short time. The style does aim at 'unity of effect and often is concentrating on the creation of mood rather than plot.'(definition by Merriam-Webster). All the writers show individual freedom and originality. Douglas Dunn is well qualified to edit this book and his Introduction is excellent. The accomplishment is of a very high standard! Dag Stomberg |
