Abstract
What's the use in talking about queer form in Scottish literature? If queer has been used to describe a resistance to dominant forms, where is the efficacy in locating projects of dissention within the confines of national imaginaries? This article thinks through some of the constraints and opportunities in elaborating what queer form might look like in Scotland. The first half of the article offers an overview of how queer form can be used to describe the coalescence of aesthetic and social registers of dissent. The article then turns to Maud Sulter and Jackie Kay to explore two case studies of queer Scottish forms (and why they might be useful)
