Abstract

The article provides an investigation and an interpretation of recent trends in Scottish literature and culture in the framework of Scotland's and global responses to the environmental question. Eco-spatial co-ordinates demand a range of territories, perspectives and scales: local/national/(bio)regional/‘global’/‘planetary’. They may also imply a critical repurposing; a transgressing and transcending of conventional ‘Scottish’ boundaries, temporalities, places and objects of focus—e.g. ‘nation’; ‘landscape’; ‘community’; ‘resource’—for a more environmentally and ecologically bound perspective. It also provides an introduction to the Humanities Special Issue "Environment, Ecology, Climate and ‘Nature’ in 21st Century Scottish Literature" https://www.mdpi.com/journal/humanities/special_issues/environment_scottish_literature
