This book was released on 2006 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This story of Duncan Glen's search for Joseph Mardel, a forgotten man of twentieth-century Scottish literary publishing and printing, is a good read. It is also a contribution to the story of the continuing Scottish literary renaissance that began in the 1920s with Hugh MacDiarmid's volumes of poems in Scots and continued throughout the twentieth century. Thanks to the heroes of this book it may even be continuing today!" "The Serif Books imprint may be largely forgotten but, as Glen shows, Joseph Mardel was, in the late 1940s and through the 1950s, a key performer in the impressive story of the revival of literary publishing in Scotland. The heroes of this book are the publishers of the 1940s and 1950s - Joseph Mardel of Serif Books, William Maclellan, Callum Macdonald, and Calum and Kenneth Campbell of Caledonian Press and Castle Wynd Printers - but they were brave on behalf of poets, novelists, dramatists, critics and editors whose names virbrate through this work."--BOOK JACKET.
Download or read book Heaven taught Fergusson written by Robert Crawford and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2003 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Heaven-taught Fergusson', wrote Robert Burns in stylish admiration. This tribute was only one of many bonds between Scotland's national poet and the poetic master whom he most loved, but never met.Later Scottish poets have admired Fergusson in similarly strong terms. The ten specially commissioned poems in this book paying tribute (directly or indirectly) to Fergusson continue a tradition of homage while sounding their own contemporary notes. Sometimes gleeful, sometimes solemn, Heaven-taught Fergusson both winks at and scrutinizes a poet who was in several ways strikingly different from Burns. Poets and critics from three continents come together in this volume. In various ways their soundings suggest just what it is about Fergusson that makes him still seem 'heaven-taught'.

Download or read book Essence of Edinburgh written by Jenni Calder and published by Luath Press Ltd. This book was released on 2020-04-24 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This book is a personal journey – an eccentric odyssey – exploring aspects of past and present, people and places. It is an evocation rather than a history.' A city of fascinating unpredictability is how Jenni Calder describes Edinburgh. In an eccentric odyssey that is equally fascinating and unpredictable, she discovers the essence of the city beyond the iconic centre. With a passionate sense of place, she evokes personal experience alongside vivid accounts of Edinburgh given by others. In the Grassmarket, she recalls Sir Walter Scott's dramatisations of riot and public execution. On Blackford Hill, she takes pleasure in the account given by the 'Silent Traveller' Chiang Yee of walking backwards to the summit. Crossing the Dean Bridge brings to mind Naomi Mitchison's imagined descent into the vertiginous Dean Gorge. Jenni Calder's journeys through this most 'walkable' of cities brings a new appreciation of Edinburgh into being.

Download or read book Pursuit written by John Calder and published by Alma Books. This book was released on 2018-01-01 with total page 660 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "e;Publish and be damned"e;, Wellington's famous adage, runs like a leitmotiv through John Calder's memoirs. He has been damned by a censorious press, by politicians, by other publishers and by organs of the state for publishing books on sensitive issues. Damned also for publishing such authors as Henry Miller, William Burroughs, Alexander Trocchi and Hubert Selby Jr, as well as for bringing to public notice the abuses of the armies and security forces of colonial countries. He took on American authors who could not be published in the United States during the McCarthy witch-hunt. He exposed the atrocities of the Algerian and other African wars, and produced many books on British political, social and moral issues, which only a totally independent publisher could have done.Born into the most conservative of establishment families, John Calder has always gone his own way - seeking out literary genius and creating a greater awareness of the world we inhabit. His publishing programme contained a large proportion of the leading writers of the twentieth century, including Samuel Beckett, Eugene Ionesco, Luigi Pirandello, Alain Robbe-Grillet, Marguerite Duras, Heinrich Boell and such British authors as Howard Barker, Edward Bond, Steven Berkoff and Ann Quin. Anecdotes abound in these memoirs about Bertrand Russell, Alger Hiss, Graham Greene, J.B. Priestley, Jo Grimond and dozens of others whom the author encountered in his activities, both within and outside of publishing. This book is too outspoken to make many friends, but it will open eyes and upset apple carts. Never a saint, Calder is as frank about his own failings as of those of others.
