Book Week Scotland: Nan Shepherd and her friends
Advertisement
In recent years, Nan Shepherd has often been imagined as a solitary walker and writer. This talk by Dr. Tim Baker looks at the importance of female friendship in her writing and life, placing Shepherd as one node of a much larger network of Aberdonian women writers and thinkers. In particular, it focuses on her correspondence with Agnes Mure Mackenzie and Lynn Irvine, as well as her later friendship with Jessie Kesson.
