Slow Reading
The Slow Reading project (in association with www.unco.scot) is an opportunity to read in the style of the 1890s.
In those days many people read works by Crockett in serial form, over many months. By posting chapters online on a weekly basis we encourage you to read at a slower pace, to reflect on the chapters that you read, and to discover a whole new insight into narrative form and content. Reading in this way allows you to experience something of the context and material culture properties of classic Scots works.
Our Slow Reading title available in 2020 is Men of the Moss Hags (125th anniversary) starting in January.
Slow Reading titles from 2019:
The Lilac Sunbonnet (January - September) 125 years after the original serialisation in 'The Christian Leader' 1894
The Little Minister by J.M.Barrie (January - September) originally serialised in 'Good Words' 1891
Ione March (June to December) 120 years after the original serialisation in 'Woman at Home' (as The Woman of Fortune) 1899
