The 2018 Centenary Edition
Series Editor: Alan Taylor
As part of this year’s Muriel Spark 100 celebrations, some of Scotland’s leading writers have been invited to contribute introductory essays to a centenary edition of her novels. All 22 novels will be republished in hardback by Polygon, with the support of Creative Scotland and the Muriel Spark Society. A selection of these essays will appear in The Scotsman magazine throughout 2018, and extracts from the relevant novels will be published on scotsman.com
