- This 232-page monograph, the first single-author study of Nan Shepherd, draws extensively on her unpublished manuscripts, commonplace books, letters and notes, as well as her private library. Combining biography, literary analysis, politics, and philosophy, it offers pioneering readings of Shepherd’s work informed by the latest developments in ecocriticism and environmental humanities. It opens a dialogue with non-academic creative and environmentalist practice by considering her legacy for Scottish creative arts and conservation and rewilding in the Cairngorms. Finally, it incorporates auto-ethnography, reflecting on the author’s experiences of sharing Shepherd's writing at mountaineering festivals and participating in Shepherd’s literary revival in Scotland.
