Shotlist: Webcast of a launch event for "Old Nations, Auld Enemies, New Times", a collection of essays by Tom Nairn, chaired by Jamie Maxwell and Pete Ramand at Martin Hall, New College, Edinburgh.

"For the last fifty years Nairn has been one of Britain's most consistently provocative and influential voices. Old Nations, Auld Enemies, New Times brings together, for the first time, the full span of his work, from his ground-breaking analysis of the British state in the 1960s and 70s to his more recent examinations of globalisation, the English question and the independence referendum. I hope you can join us for what promises to be one of the most exciting literary and media events of the referendum debate so far. The debate will be chaired by editors Jamie Maxwell and Pete Ramand." [event publicity]
