Ulster-Scots Literature: an online resource of Ulster-Scots authors and their creative writings
An extensive range of fully searchable texts of books published by the most important Ulster-Scots writers will be added to this site.
Many of the novels by Ulster-Scots writers are in the 'kail-yard' style, that is, with the narrative text in English, and only the characters' dialogue in Ulster-Scots. Similarly, most poetry collections by Ulster-Scots poets contain some poems in English as well as some in Ulster-Scots. But in all of these publications, it is the entire work which provides the full picture of their author's literary achievement and cultural contribution. While the Ulster-Scots linguistic content of these works may also appear in the TEXT-BASE section of this website, here the authors' works are provided in full, embracing their cultural, historical and local content, and enabling a holistic perspective on their literary achievements.
