About the research strand

The Scottish Writing in the Nineteenth Century project was founded in 2008. Since then, they have held numerous research, public, and network-building events. These have taken place within the University of Edinburgh, the City of Edinburgh, and elsewhere in Scotland, in collaboration with other Universities. Their chief aims remain the same: to build connections between researchers working in the field of 19th century Scottish studies and to foster public awareness of the richness and diversity of Scottish culture in the period.
