Naomi Mitchison published her first novel, The Conquered, in 1923. In her more than seventy succeeding books she has produced an extraordinary out-put, especially in the novel and the short story. This selection of the shorter fiction is intended to illustrate her range and achievement over more than fifty years.Beyond This Limit was the result of a unique co-operative partnership with illustrator Wyndham Lewis, and story and pictures are here first reproduced from the limited edition of 1935. The other contents range from a story of the cave painters of Lascaux, through Mitchison’s major fictional preoccupations, ancient Greece, Scotland, Africa, to a story of post-holocaust Scotland first published in 1982. Central to all of them is a very individual intelligence constantly examining the politics of power in human relationships, including sexual ones.Edited with an Introduction by Isobel Murray, Emeritus Professor of Modern Scottish Literature at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland.

Paul Keller is the Stephen Dedalus of the piece, the son of Robert and Sylvie, whose internal monologue is spliced into the action, and whose incestuous feelings for his sister lead to an increase in his...

  • Essays and Journalism, Volume 3
    Naomi Mitchison
    Naomi Mitchison was born in Edinburgh, and from at least the late 1930s onwards she was not only passionately interested in Scottish landscape and history but involved in Scottish politics and current affairs. A first glance at the pieces collected here might suggest that her Scotland comprised only the West Highlands which she knew so well. Much of her journalism stems from he...

    The British know nothing about Botswana because it seldom gets a mention in the press; and because it’s ’simply not interesting’. So says Alfred Dube, Botswana’s High Commissioner in London. As a generalisation, he may be right. But turn the coin and realise that many thousands of people in Britain, with no direct contact with this country, owe their knowledge of it to a single...

  • Collected Poems
    Naomi Mitchison
    Naomi Mitchison (1897-1999) wrote, during her long life, in more or less every genre one could name: fiction, essays, drama, children’s books, and poetry. Much of her writing has been brought back into print, but no sustained effort has so far been made to collect and consider her poetry. This volume is a first step towards that.Only two poetry collections were published during...
