Including previously unknown work available only now in the Alan Sharp papers collection in the University of Dundee Archive, it traces the life's work of a man who made a unique contribution to Scottish culture and considers his themes, especially his awareness of landcape and his use of the ambivalent male protagonist, the anti-hero.
