Carol Craig: The Scots Crisis of Confidence

Carol Craig’s The Scots Crisis of Confidence is the most successful exposition of Scots’ attitudes to and predeliction for negativity. In the new edition, Craig offers a refreshingly different analysis of the big themes of Scottish culture. The Herald called it ‘a brave book, a stimulating book, a ground-breaking book. It should shake this little nation to its foundations and smash its complacency’.​

Carol is in conversation with Ian Jack, formerly editor of Granta Magazine and the Independent on Sunday, Guardian columnist, and author most recently of The Country Formerly Known as Great Britain.http://www.aye-write.net/programme/authors/Pages/Carol-Craig.aspxhttp://www.aye-write.net/programme/authors/Pages/Carol-Craig.aspx
