Hardy has an invited essay in the issue of The Bottle Imp
Rob Hardy, Research Associate, has an invited essay in the Spring 2016 issue of The Bottle Imp, the online journal of the Association for Scottish Literary Studies, which is devoted to Naomi Mitchison. His essay, “Encounters in the Fairy Hill,” explores the connections between Mitchison’s children’s book The Fairy Who Couldn’t Tell a Lie (1963) and her memoir of becoming an honorary member of the Bakgatla tribe in Botswana, Return to the Fairy Hill (1966). Hardy’s two earlier essays on Mitchison—”Naomi Mitchison: Peaceable Transgressor” (New England Review) and “‘Real and Not Real’: Naomi Mitchison’s Philosophy of the Historical Novel” (Readings)—were recently reprinted in Twentieth-Century Literary Criticism, vol. 327, edited by Lawrence J. Trudeau (Gage/Cengage Learning 2016).
