LITERATURE AND RELIGION IN SCOTLAND
1–2 July, St Andrews Building, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, Scotland
Now open for booking – see website for full details and conference programme:
Literature and the religions of the world are intimately intertwined, and the study of literature as a discipline began with the study of the relationship between writers and sacred texts, between words and the Word. This conference will examine some of the ways in which religions and religious impulses have influenced, and been influenced by, the literature of Scotland, past and present.
