Summary For I Will Give You The Morning Star: A Celebration of the Life and Work of Lewis Grassic Gibbon
The great Scottish novelist James Leslie Mitchell, better-known as Lewis Grassic Gibbon, died on 7 February 1935. Just thirty-three years old, he had published an astonishing range of books in his cruelly short but hugely influential writing career, including Sunset Song, a novel of truly iconic status regularly voted Scotland’s favourite by the reading public.
This event, chaired by Prof Alison Lumsden, will mark the 90th anniversary of his death. Renowned academics, Gibbon specialists and writers will celebrate his legacy and explore the enduring fascination of his life and work: Dr William K. Malcolm, Gibbon's authorised biographer; Dr Alison Baxter, granddaughter and biographer of Jean Baxter to whom Sunset Song is dedicated; Gibbon experts Dr Scott Lyall and Prof Uwe Zagratzki, plus choice readings by Dr Shane Strachan.
The event is supported by the School of Arts and Creative Industries, Edinburgh Napier University.People Scott Lyall Org Units School of Arts and Creative Industries Research Areas Literature Themes Culture and Communities Research Centres/Groups Centre for Arts, Media and Culture URL https://scottishstorytellingcentre.online.red61.co.uk/event/913:5810/913:25312/ This news contributes to the following UN Sustainable Development Goals
