Cunninghame Graham was a famous and hugely influential figure in late 19th and early 20th century Scottish politics and literature. He published 34 books during his lifetime, equally divided between histories (mostly of South America), and anthologies of his impressionistic sketches of South America, Morocco, and Scotland, the large majority of which had been published previously in literary magazines between 1896 and 1933.
For the first time, the editors have compiled his entire Scottish oeuvre chronologically, into one volume, and set them in their historical and social contexts, which explores and contextualises the works themselves, and traces Graham’s development as a much-admired literary artist and social documentarist. One of the editors is a Cunninghame Graham family member, and the family historian, who has provided insights and peculiar details, unavailable to previous biographers, which hopefully provides added depth and understanding to Graham’s works.
