Spy Week 2018
Now in its fifth year, Edinburgh Spy Week is a unique public event that focuses on espionage fiction and film and the ways in which secrecy and spying run through our history and culture.
Comprising talks and film screenings over five days, the events bring together creative practitioners and academic researchers to talk about books and ideas in public and accessible ways.
The Spy Week team is based in English Literature in the School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures (LLC) at the University of Edinburgh, and works with other Schools and cultural bodies in Edinburgh - including the National Library of Scotland and Filmhouse - to bring the very best contemporary spy writers to Edinburgh.
