Rather it suggeststhat a number of significant poets emerged in the period who represent an ongoing clearly Scottish tradition, characterised by protean identities and eccentricity, which leads on to MacDiarmid and the `Scottish Renaissance'of the twentieth century. The work of the poets in question is thus seen as marked by recurring linguistic, stylistic and thematic eccentricities which are often radical and subversive.

  • The Concert of the Animals & Friends, Muzyczna Owczarnia, Szczawnica
    The concert of the Animals & Friends, Muzyczna Owczarnia, Szczawnica-Jaworki, 10th and 11th April 2016. This place is magical, here we can all be together, No matter who we are, no matter where we come from, Here peace and goodwill fills the air, here we are closer to God, While the music brings us together in joy. Even the most abstractive dreams come true. When I read on the website of Muzyczna Owczarnia that the Animals & Friends would perform at Wietek Kołodziejski, I could not believe that. Theoretical and practical thoughts ran through my mind as quickly as lightning, and then I called Wietek to ask him for a ticket and to Grzegorz Kasprzyk to book accommodation at his Koliba (chalet). Muzyczna Owczarnia. The interest was so high that there were two concerts: on Sunday 10th and on Monday 11th. I arrived in Jaworki on Saturday to tune myself in this emotional atmosphere:) Sylwia, Wietk’s wife, had everything ready. The musicians came on Sunday at 3 p.m. with Łukasz Gorczyca and Sebastian Kowol. Their presence was meaningful so there is a short mention about them. Łukasz Gorczyca - basist, composer, author of numerous projects, known from cooperation with many famous domestic and foreign musicians. There are among others: Patsy Gamble, Jennifer Batten, Terry Man, Andy Egert, Wheatbread Johnson, Griff Hamlin, Barry Richman, Alvon Johnson, Keith Thompson, Rob Tognoni, Risto Toppola, Chuck Frazier, Kellie Rucker, Billy Hamilton, Chaz de Paolo, Alex Rossi, Grainne Duffy, Ian Sands Blues Band, Krissy Matthews, Dave Ellis Blues Band, Janet Robin, Leon Hendrix, Noel Coutts.

  • “Spasm” and Class: W. E. Aytoun, George Gilfillan, Sydney Dobell, and Alexander Smith FLORENCE S
    “Spasm” and Class: W. E. Aytoun, George Gilfillan, Sydney Dobell, and Alexander Smith FLORENCE S. BOOS HE BRIEF FLORUIT OF THE “SPASMODIC” POETS FOLLOWED CLOSELY ONE OF Tnineteenth-century British radicalism’s most signal defeats—the re- jection of the 1848 People’s Charter. Spasmodic poems also “consistently [took] as their subject a young poet’s struggle to write the poem that would make him famous”1—a conspicuous underlying theme of Wordsworth’s Pre- lude (1850), as well as the first edition of Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass (1855). Such personal and collective struggles in fact provided signature- themes for hundreds of English and Scottish working-class and humble life poets of the era, who penned Shelleyan “dream visions,” declaimed in the voice of rustic prophets, and focused their aspirations on the tenuous out- lines of a more democratic culture to come. Melodrama and popular stage productions were also quintessential mid-Victorian working-class genres,2 and political relevance may be found in contemporary critical tendencies to attack the Spasmodic poets for their melodramatic and declamatory extravagance. Sydney Dobell, Alexander Smith, Gerald Massey, and Ebenezer Jones, in particular, were working- or lower-middle class in their origins and edu- cation, and several of these poets had contributed to the democratic fervor which culminated in the People’s Charter of 1848. Under the penname “Bandiera,” for example, Massey had written revolutionary verses, and Jones’s pamphlet on Land Monopoly (1849) anticipated arguments made famous by Henry George in Progress and Poverty two decades later.3 Smith followed with interest the actions of Chartism’s Scottish wing, and Dobell’s first poem, The Roman (1850), celebrated an imaginary hero of Italian in- dependence after the manner of Browning’s Sordello and Bulwer-Lytton’s Rienzi.

    Issue 142 AUGUST 2ND, 2021 Is there a reader among us who doesn’t dig ZZ Top? We mourn the passing of Joseph Michael “Dusty” Hill (72), bassist, vocalist and keyboardist for the tres hombres. Blending blues, boogie, bone-crushing rock, born-for-MTV visuals, humor and outrageousness – they once took a passel of live animals on stage as part of their 1976 – 1977 Worldwide Texas Tour – Hill, drummer Frank Beard and guitarist Billy F. Gibbons have scorched stages worldwide. As a friend said, “it’s amazing how just three guys could make that much sound.” Rest in peace, Mr. Hill. In this issue: Anne E. Johnson gets inspired by the music of Renaissance composer William Byrd, and understands The Animals. Wayne Robins reviews Native Sons, the superb new album from Los Lobos.

  • The Presbyterian Interpretation of Scottish History 1800-1914.Pdf
    Graeme Neil Forsyth THE PRESBYTERIAN INTERPRETATION OF SCOTTISH HISTORY, 1800- 1914 Ph. D thesis University of Stirling 2003 ABSTRACT The nineteenth century saw the revival and widespread propagation in Scotland of a view of Scottish history that put Presbyterianism at the heart of the nation's identity, and told the story of Scotland's history largely in terms of the church's struggle for religious and constitutional liberty. Key to. this development was the Anti-Burgher minister Thomas M'Crie, who, spurred by attacks on Presbyterianism found in eighteenth-century and contemporary historical literature, between the years 1811 and 1819 wrote biographies of John Knox and Andrew Melville and a vindication of the Covenanters. M'Crie generally followed the very hard line found in the Whig- Presbyterian polemical literature that emerged from the struggles of the sixteenth and seventeenth century; he was particularly emphatic in support of the independence of the church from the state within its own sphere. His defence of his subjects embodied a Scottish Whig interpretation of British history, in which British constitutional liberties were prefigured in Scotland and in a considerable part won for the British people by the struggles of Presbyterian Scots during the seventeenth century. M'Crie's work won a huge following among the Scottish reading public, and spawned a revival in Presbyterian historiography which lasted through the century. His influence was considerably enhanced through the affinity felt for his work by the Anti- Intrusionists in the Church of Scotland and their successorsin the Free Church (1843- 1900), who were particularly attracted by his uncompromising defence of the spiritual independence of the church.
