Download or read book MacDiarmid written by Alan Bold and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-06-23 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1983, Hugh MacDiarmid: The Terrible Crystal is a detailed introduction to the poetry of Hugh MacDiarmid. Hugh MacDiarmid’s poetry shows a persistent search for a consistent intellectual vision that reveals, in all its facets, the source of creativity recognised by the poet as ‘the terrible crystal’. This introduction to his poetry shows that MacDiarmid’s great achievement was a poetry of evolutionary idealism, that draws attention to itself by a series of culture shocks. It places MacDiarmid as a nationalist poet in an international context: a man whose unique concept of creative unity enabled him to combine the Scottish tradition with the linguistic experimentation of Joyce and Pound. Hugh MacDiarmid: The Terrible Crystal is ideal for those with an interest in the poetry of Hugh MacDiarmid, Scottish poetry, and poetry and criticism more broadly.

Download or read book Sydney Goodsir Smith Poet written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-03-09 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sydney Goodsir Smith, Poet: Essays on His Life and Work offers the first substantial work to assess his life and writings since his premature death in 1975. Considered a major figure in the second wave of Hugh MacDiarmid’s ‘Scottish Literary Renaissance’, Smith’s unique body of work has largely fallen from critical discussion of post-war Scottish literature. This book remedies this by showing how his work may have fallen out of favour, and then by reappraising his distinctive and varied achievements in poetry, drama, art and art criticism, the novel and translations. Early career and established academics explore the many strands of his work as the best way of giving this multifaceted literary figure renewed attention.

Download or read book Correspondence Between Hugh MacDiarmid and Sorley MacLean written by Susan R. Wilson and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2010-04-08 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is both the first complete annotated edition of the letters exchanged by these major twentieth-century Scottish poets and the first major exploration of their long friendship and literary association. Spanning nearly fifty years, from 27 July 1934 to 23 July 1978, this engaging correspondence offers a revealing and sometimes intimate look at their lively dialogical exchanges on a broad range of topics from major historical events such as the Spanish Civil War and WW II, to the mundane challenges of daily life.The introductory chapters chart the development of MacDiarmid and MacLean's enduring friendship in relation to their quite different literary contexts and careers, discuss MacLean's significant contributions to MacDiarmid's Golden Treasury of Scottish Poetry, and situate MacLean's literary innovations in terms of Gaelic modernism. They thus provide comparative critical insights into the influence of cultural nationalism on each writer's developing poetics, their work as translators, and their mutual influence on each other's careers. These private letters in which culture, politics, and modern history intersect offer a fascinating glimpse at the creative processes and collaborative work of Hugh MacDiarmid and Sorley MacLean.Key Features:* The first complete annotated edition of the correspondence between the two poets * The only major exploration of MacDiarmid and MacLean's friendship and literary association* Full biographical and historical Introduction, bibliography and appendices

Download or read book To Circumjack MacDiarmid written by W. N. Herbert and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1992 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than Eliot or Pound, the career of Scottish poet Hugh MacDiarmid reflects the restless nature of the modern age. From his early opposition to poetry in Scots to the triumphant use of dialect in Sangschaw; from these exquisite lyrics to the long dynamic poems A Drunk Man Looks at the Thistle and To Circumjack Cencrastus; from the abandonment of Scots to the glacial, 'scientific' English of the unassembled Mature Art - most critics have limited themselves to a single phase of MacDiarmid's career. This study attempts, in his own phrase, to 'circumjack' or 'fully explicate' a troubling but brilliant author. Examining his earliest work, Herbert posits a symbolic structure which governs all MacDiarmid's periods, as well as explaining his need for ceaseless change. MacDiarmid emerges as a modernist of international stature, but also as a radical experimenter whose work anticipates post-modernist concerns.
