I cannot overstate how important this collection is to our appreciation of my great-great-uncle as a writer, as a Scot, and as a man. --James Jauncey, author of Don Roberto: the Adventure of Being Cunninghame Graham Read together, these Scottish sketches provide a remarkable overview of Graham's literary, political and personal development; moreover, the editors' explication of the historical context of his writings and the evolution of his literary style allows readers to connect this iconoclastic author to the major historical changes he experienced across his lifetime. --Jennifer Hayward, Adolfo Ibáñez University This is a work of immense archival scholarship, more than adequate and apt for a readership of both scholars and anyone curious about Scotland, literary modernism and modern British, European and world politics and cultural history. Just as importantly, the book is also immensely lucid, readable and compelling and has all the character and urgency and relevance of the author - Cunninghame Graham - himself. -- ""Alan Riach, University of Glasgow""
