The first collection of scholarly essays addressing the diverse literary work of the Scottish writer Naomi Mitchison As a novelist, feminist, socialist, activist, travel-writer and diarist, Naomi Mitchison is one of Scotland's most important yet understudied twentieth-century writers. This volume showcases the first collection of scholarly essays addressing her diverse literary work, including nine critical essays by scholars from the UK and the USA dealing with aspects such as spirituality, socialism, eugenics, war, the short story, science, feminism, mothering and decolonisation. The volume also features 'Europe' a previously unknown story by Mitchison, here published for the first time. Aimed at students, scholars and teachers of literature from undergraduate level upwards, it is an essential resource for anyone with an interest in Mitchison's life and literary legacy.
