Declarations on Freedom for Writers and Readers (Lothian)Paperback - Lothian, 1 April 2020

Declaration on Freedom for Writers and Readers is an anthology of poetry and prose exploring freedom of expression. The year 2020 marks the 700th anniversary of the Declaration of Arbroath in which the Scottish nobility appealed to the Pope to support the nation's fight for freedom from 'the rule of the English'. The need to hear and understand each other is as urgent now as it ever was.

This project was conceived and realised by Scottish PEN which, for nearly 100 years, has been campaigning for freedom of expression and the free exchange of ideas across borders.

Declarations includes many voices, featuring some of Scotland's leading writers such as Karen Campbell, A C Clarke, Carl MacDougall, and James Robertson, as well as writers from overseas.
