Quotes by Fiona McCulloch  (?)

“The case of Ballantyne's The Coral Island is instructive, for the author had never seen a coral island, or, indeed, a palm tree, or a coconut, and his novel is a construction out of his reading of other books, some of which are pillaged to the point of plagarism. The textual bricolage is matched by the ironic presentation of the imperial values which it is generally assumed the book exists to promote: a pirate by the name of 'Bloody Bill' is allowed to articulate how useful religion is to the advancement of trade (and plunder).”
Fiona McCulloch, The International Companion to the Scottish Novel

“In the relative infancy of a devolved Scotland, it seems timely to demonstrate that children's fiction, far from comprising a mere after-thought within Scotland's creative psyche, plays a fundamental role in the shaping of that collectively imagined space.”
Fiona McCulloch, The Edinburgh Companion to Contemporary Scottish Literature
