  • Prose Supplement 7 (2011) [Click for Pdf]
    PS edited by Raymond Friel and Richard Price number 7 Ten Richard Price It’s ten years since I started Painted, spoken. Looking back over the issues of the magazine, two of the central patterns were there from the word go. They’re plain as day in the title: the fluid yet directing edge poetry shares with the visual arts, and, somewhere so far in the other direction it’s almost the same thing, the porous edge poetry shares with sound or performance, so porous you can hear it in its hollows. Although the magazine grew out of serial offences in little magazineship, the first impulse was to be quite different formally from Gairfish, Verse, and Southfields, each of which had placed a premium on explanation, on prose engagement, and on the analysis of the cultural traditions from which the poems they published either appeared to emerge or through which, whatever their actual origins, they could be understood. Painted, spoken would be much more tight-lipped, a gallery without the instant contextualisation demanded by an educational agenda (perhaps rightly in a public situation, but a mixed model is surely better than a constant ‘tell-us-what-to-think’ approach and the public isn’t always best served by conventional teaching). Instead, poems in Painted, spoken would take their bearings from what individual readers brought to the texts ‘themselves’ - because readers are never really alone - and also from the association of texts with each other, in a particular issue and across issues. The magazine went on its laconic way for several years until a different perspective began to open up, a crystal started to solidify, whatever metaphor you’d care to use for time-lapse comprehension (oh there’s another one): in management-speak, significant change impressed on the strategy and the strategy needed to change.

It is a cultural analysis of Morgan's poetry as representation of the Scottish people. ' Morgan's poetry represents the Scottish people as determined and persistent in dealing with life's adversities while maintaining hope in a better future This hope, according to Morgan, is largely associated with the advent of technology and the more modern landscape of his native Glasgow.

  • Brown, George Mackay (1921–1996)
    George Mackay Brown in Facts on File Companion to British Poetry 1900 to the Present BROWN, GEORGE MACKAY (1921–1996) To understand George Mackay Brown’s art, the reader must appreciate its deep rootedness in the poet’s place of birth. Orkney looms large in all of his writings, its lore, language, history, and myth, providing Brown with most of the material he used in his 50 years as a professional writer. Brown was born and lived all his life in Stromness, a small town on Mainland, the larg- est of the Orkney Islands, situated off the northern coast of Scotland. Except for his student years at New- battle Abbey and Edinburgh University, as a protégé of EDWIN MUIR, Brown rarely left Orkney. He returned time and again to the matter of Orkney as inspiration for his work, often evoking its Viking heritage and the influence of the mysterious Neolithic settlers who pre- dated the Norsemen. The other abiding influence on his work is his Roman Catholicism—he converted at the age of 40, after years of reflection. Brown’s background was poor. His father, John Brown, was a postman, and his mother, Mhairi Mackay Brown, worked in a hotel. Brown attended the local school, Stromness Academy, where he discovered his talent for writing in the weekly “compositions” set by his English teacher. A bout of tuberculosis ended his schooling and led to his becoming a writer, since he was scarcely fit for a regular job. From the early 1940s, he earned a living as a professional writer, often publishing his work in the local newspaper, for which he continued to write until a week before his death.

  • ST MAGNUS: an EXPLORATION of HIS SAINTHOOD William P
    ST MAGNUS: AN EXPLORATION OF HIS SAINTHOOD William P. L. Thomson When the editors of New Dictionary of National Biography were recently discussing ways in which the new edition is different from the old, they re­ marked that one of the changes is in the treatment of saints: The lives [of saints] are no longer viewed as straightforward stories with an unfor­ tunate, but easily discounted, tendency to exaggeration, but may now be valued more for what they reveal about their authors, or about the milieu in which they were written, than for any information they contain about their ostensible subjects (DNB 1998). This is a good note on which to begin the exploration of Magnus's saint­ hood. We need to concern ourselves with the historical Magnus - and Magnus has a better historical basis than many saints - but equally we need to explore the ways people have perceived his sainthood and often manipulated it for their own purposes. The Divided Earldom The great Earl Thorfinn was dead by I 066 and his earldom was shared by his two sons (fig. I). It was a weakness of the earldom that it was divisible among heirs, and the joint rule of Paul and Erlend gave rise to a split which resulted not just in THOR FINN PAUL I ERLEND Kali I I HAKON MAGNUS Gunnhild m Kol I ,- I Maddad m Margaret HARALD PAUL II ROGNVALD E. of Atholl I HARALD MADDADSSON Ingirid I Harald the Younger Fig. 1.

  • On the Study and Promotion of Drama in Scottish Gaelic Sìm Innes
    Editorial: On the study and promotion of drama in Scottish Gaelic Sìm Innes (University of Glasgow) and Michelle Macleod (University of Aberdeen), Guest-Editors We are very grateful to the editors of the International Journal of Scottish Theatre and Screen for allowing us the opportunity to guest-edit a special volume about Gaelic drama. The invitation came after we had organised two panels on Gaelic drama at the biennial Gaelic studies conference, Rannsachadh na Gàidhlig, at the University Edinburgh 2014. We asked the contributors to those two panels to consider developing their papers and submit them to peer review for this special edition: each paper was read by both a Gaelic scholar and a theatre scholar and we are grateful to them for their insight and contributions. Together the six scholarly essays and one forum interview in this issue are the single biggest published work on Gaelic drama to date and go some way to highlighting the importance of this genre within Gaelic society. In 2007 Michelle Macleod and Moray Watson noted that ‘few studies of modern Gaelic drama’ (Macleod and Watson 2007: 280) exist (prior to that its sum total was an unpublished MSc dissertation by Antoinette Butler in 1994 and occasional reviews): Macleod continued to make the case in her axiomatically entitled work ‘Gaelic Drama: The Forgotten Genre in Gaelic Literary Studies’. (Dymock and McLeod 2011) More recently scholarship on Gaelic drama has begun to emerge and show, despite the fact that it had hitherto been largely neglected in academic criticism, that there is much to be gained from in-depth study of the genre.

RECOVERING THE REFORMATION HERITAGE IN GEORGE MACKAY BROWN’S GREENVOE Richard Rankin Russell The Orcadian writer George Mackay Brown posited in his 1970 essay, “The Broken Heraldry,” written while he was drafting his best novel, Greenvoe (1972), that the Reformation shattered irremediably ... the fullness of life of a community, its single interwoven identity. In earlier times the temporal and the eternal, the story and the fable, were not divorced, as they came to be after Knox: they used the same language and imagery, so that the whole of life was illuminated. Crofters and fishermen knew what Christ was talking about ... because they bore the stigmata of labour on their bodies—the net let down into the sea, the sower going forth to sow, the fields white towards harvest.1 This close connection of the Orkney islanders to the land enabled them to fully understand and apply Christ’s often agrarian sayings and stories to their own lives.

  • Strategic Plan Research 2021-25
    THE BRITISH SCHOOL AT ATHENS – STRATEGIC PLAN FOR RESEARCH 2021-2025 | www.bsa.ac.uk The mission of the British School at Athens (BSA), deriving from its statutory object as a UK-based charity, is to conduct, facilitate and promote research of international excellence in all periods – from the Palaeolithic to the present – and across all humanities and social science disciplines.1 It is therefore the United Kingdom’s hub for advanced research in these disciplines in Greece and its wider Balkan, Levantine, Mediterranean, and European contexts. The research it conducts, facilitates and promotes makes significant original contributions to knowledge, offering long-term perspectives on contemporary questions. The BSA’s long-standing presence (since 1886) in Athens, a strategic location at the interface between Europe and the Mediterranean world means it is ideally situated to explore the area’s deep history and connections and is well placed to build on its already important role in cultural diplomacy, a role that will become even more important in a post-Brexit environment. This strategic plan is structured around our mission – identifying the ways in which the BSA will conduct, facilitate and promote research, maximising the benefits and potential of its existing resources, while also seeking to develop further the range and scope of all research activities. It describes those activities that are in concrete planning. Research is, however, kept under regular review by the BSA’s two research committees: the Committee for Society, Arts and

Gunn and Hugh MacDiarmid Fiona E. Paterson M.A. (Hons) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Philosophy in Scottish Literature School of Critical Studies College of Arts University of Glasgow June 2020 Abstract Neil Gunn and Hugh MacDiarmid are popularly linked with regards to the Scottish Literary Renaissance, the nation’s contribution to international modernism, in which they were integral figures. Beyond that, they are broadly considered to have followed different creative paths, Gunn deemed the ‘Highland novelist’ and MacDiarmid the extremist political poet. This thesis presents the argument that whilst their methods and priorities often differed dramatically, the reconstruction of a Gaelic world - the ‘Gaelic Idea’ - was a focus in which the writers shared a similar degree of commitment and similar priorities.
