Introduction: Problems of Community in the Scottish Novel
This introductory chapter discusses George Mackay Brown, who is known for his observational writing. It looks at his involvement with the problems of community, which is best seen in his prose works. It then studies the centrality of community in Scottish literature and the community in Scottish fiction in the next section. It also looks at the crisis of foundationalism and studies how Brown's work presents an understanding of community predicated on intentionality but also includes anti-foundationalist perspectives.
