John Francis Campbell: Stories of a Life and a Life of Stories

John Francis Campbell (1821-85) is best known today as the compiler and editor of 'Popular Tales of the West Highlands', four volumes of priceless Gaelic stories and lore gathered by a team of collectors under his direction. In this talk, Dr Domhnall Uilleam Stiùbhart, Senior Lecturer and Course Leader of Material Culture and Gàidhealtachd History at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig UHI, will use the National Library’s extensive collections to chart Campbell’s eventful and extraordinary life.
