Research title: The Significance of World War II and the Changing Postwar Landscape of Scotland and Britain in the Writing of Eric Linklater
Research summary
The topic of my PhD thesis is how the writing of Scottish author Eric Linklater (1899-1974) engages perceptively with World War II and the altered postwar landscape that was its legacy. His work charts a changing British national identity and place in the world as survival of WWII was followed by the Cold War and the end of the Empire in the era of decolonisation. Currently completed chapters examine Linklater's wartime radio dramas and his 1946 novel Private Angelo.
