Critical Works on James Leslie Mitchell/ Lewis Grassic Gibbon

A Bibliography by William K Malcolm


The Grassic Gibbon Centre regularly updates the following bibliography of writings about James Leslie Mitchell/ Lewis Grassic Gibbon.  The Centre is keen to learn of additions or alterations to be made to the database, and would greatly appreciate further details of sources of  significant references.  The Centre also aims to build up an archive of criticism; photocopies of new or missing items would again be greatly appreciated.  

The database was originally created in August, 2000 and remains the copyright of The Grassic Gibbon Centre.
