Description: This anthology paints a vivid picture of the history and culture of one of Britain's great cities from the earliest times to the present. Selections explore the art, architecture, and culture of the city, its business and industry, its great shipbuilding and marine traditions, daily life, recreation, sport, politics, religion, and drink. Drawing on writings by Daniel Defoe, Sir Walter Scott, Evelyn Waugh, Catherine Carswell, Neil Munro, John Galt, Guy McCrone, and many others, using fiction, reportage, essays, documents, poetry, and travel writing, the editors provide us with a panorama of the bustling life and times of a city which has a character and life all its own. In every way "Glaswegians" live life to the fullest. This anthology captures all the humor, tragedy, and incident which makes the city unique.
