Outlander and Scotland, edited by Lisa Kelly, Gillebride MacMillan and Willy Maley, with a foreword by Diana Gabaldon, examines the far-reaching influence of the Outlander series on both Scottish culture and global perceptions of history. Born out of the first major international conference on the book and TV series, held at the University of Glasgow, this book presents a wide-ranging collection of interdisciplinary essays.
Contributors from diverse fields – history, literature, anthropology, linguistics and even medical experts – investigate how Outlander has shaped the way we view Scotland’s 18th-century past.
This volume is ideal for scholars, enthusiasts and fans of the Outlander series, offering fresh perspectives on its cultural significance. Bridging academia and fandom, it is a must-read for anyone with an interest in the intersection of historical fiction, television and Scottish heritage.
