This dissertation may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photo-copying or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee Dr. Iain Higgins_(English)__________________________________________ _ Supervisor Dr. Tom Cleary_(English)____________________________________________ Departmental Member Dr. Eric Miller__(English)__________________________________________ __ Departmental Member Dr. Paul Wood_ (History)________________________________________ ____ Outside Member Dr. Ann Dooley_ (Celtic Studies) __________________________________ External Examiner ABSTRACT This dissertation, Hugh MacDiarmid and Sorley MacLean: Modern Makars, Men of Letters, transcribes and annotates 76 letters (65 hitherto unpublished), between MacDiarmid and MacLean. Four additional letters written by MacDiarmid’s second wife, Valda Grieve, to Sorley MacLean have also been included as they shed further light on the relationship which evolved between the two poets over the course of almost fifty years of friendship. These letters from Valda were archived with the unpublished correspondence from MacDiarmid which the Gaelic poet preserved. The critical introduction to the letters examines the significance of these poets’ literary collaboration in relation to the Scottish Renaissance and the Gaelic Literary Revival in Scotland, both movements following Ezra Pound’s Modernist maxim, “Make it new.” The first chapter, “Forging a Friendship”, situates the development of the men’s relationship in iii terms of each writer’s literary career, MacDiarmid already having achieved fame through his early lyrics and with the 1926 publication of A Drunk Man Looks at the Thistle when they first met.

  • This House, This Poem… This Fresh Hypothesis
    This house, this poem… this fresh hypothesis - Iain Crichton Smith A brief history of the Scottish Poetry Library In the Canongate in Edinburgh, not far from the Scottish Parliament, the following words are formed of steel, looping along a facade and round the corner into Crichton’s Close: ‘a nation is forged in the hearth of poetry’¹. Just a few metres further down the Close, there is a place which houses the nation’s poetry, and more: the Scottish Poetry Library. Twenty-five years ago, long before the revitalised nation voted itself a stronger identity, the SPL had started to gather the written expression of that identity; today it is an institution which holds a unique position in the cultural life of Scotland. The story of how the SPL came to such a position starts when it was just an idea in the mind of its founder, Tessa Ransford. As a practising poet, and having recently set up the School of Poets in Edinburgh, she felt that a much greater audience for poetry existed than was apparent, but without a central forum there was no way for people to express their interest – poetry needed a place of its own. During the Edinburgh Festival in 1981, the Poetry Society from London had a stall in the Assembly Rooms; it was there that Tessa Ransford overheard an American voice asking ‘Where is the poetry library in Edinburgh?’ A library! It seemed to be the obvious answer. Tessa was aware that few public libraries could afford to cover more than the obvious giants of 20th century poetry, and that publishers had little financial incentive to publish 1 John Purser The aims of the SCOTTISH POETRY LIBRARY ASSOCIATION 1 To establish the Scottish Poetry Library, a library that would contain a complete collection of Scots, Gaelic and English poetry written in Scotland, or promote it.

  • Medieval Scottish Poetry - British and Irish Literature - Oxford Bibliographies
    10/23/2017 Medieval Scottish Poetry - British and Irish Literature - Oxford Bibliographies Medieval Scottish Poetry Nicola Royan LAST MODIFIED: 27 SEPTEMBER 2017 DOI: 10.1093/OBO/9780199846719-0129 Introduction In the title “Medieval Scottish Poetry,” “poetry” is by far the least contentious term. The other two may each be defined in many different and incompatible ways, and together they pose different challenges. “Scottish” may refer to the geography, rather than to one specific language, while “medieval” can extend in Scottish contexts further into the 16th century than is usual in British or English accounts. This article will focus primarily on poetry written in Older Scots, between 1350 and 1513, but it will also gesture toward Scottish poetry in other languages, primarily Gaelic, and poetry written or transmitted before or after those dates. Most evidence for this poetry comes from the southeastern half of the country: poets can be associated with Moray, Aberdeen, Fife, Edinburgh and the Borders, and Ayrshire. Although some material is associated with the court, at least as much is associated with noble families. It is rare to find contemporary manuscripts for the poetry, for the main witnesses for many texts are 16th-century prints and miscellanies, such as the Asloan and Bannatyne Manuscripts. This suggests that the poetry retained its cultural value well into the early modern period and beyond. The earliest Older Scots poem surviving is John Barbour’s the Bruce, dated c. 1375, It narrates the exploits of Robert I and James Douglas during the First War of Independence (1295– 1314) for the benefit of the heroes’ descendants, Robert II and Archibald Douglas.

It presents the results of the first corpus-based analysis of Modern Scottish Gaelic orthographic development combined with an analytic approach that places orthographic choices in their sociolinguistic context. The theoretical framework behind the analysis centres on discussion of how the language ideologies of the phonographic ideal, historicism, autonomy, vernacularism and the ideology of the standard itself have shaped orthographic conventions and debates.

While previous studies have collated and analysed the poetry of two of the other major impacts on Gaelic society at this time, clearance and emigration, there has so far been no concerted attempt to examine and place in context the corpus of Gaelic military material of the period – despite this verse being widespread in the poetic record. This poetry has been largely neglected by scholars of Scottish history, and, though selected pieces have been examined by scholars of Celtic Studies, it has not received the fullness of attention that such a major concern in the poetic record deserves.

  • Writing in an Unwritten Language: the Case of Guernsey French
    Writing in an unwritten language: the case of Guernsey French Julia Sallabank School of Linguistics & Applied Language Studies, The University of Reading Abstract. The Norman vernacular of the Channel Islands has scarcely been developed or modernised in the last fifty years. Many people in Guernsey are of the opinion that it is not a written language, but there is in fact a fairly large body of literature. Until the late 19th century the local vernacular (Guernesiais) was the majority language in Guernsey, with French as the High diglossic partner. The spread of English, with its economic power and monopoly of the mass media, has displaced French and led to Guernesiais being threatened with extinction. This article discusses speakers’ literacy practices, attitudes towards the writing of Guernesiais and various attempts at orthographic systems, leading to a wider discussion of the place of writing and literacy in the survival of endangered languages. 1. Introduction 1.1 Geographical and historical background Guernsey is the second largest of the Channel Islands, in the Gulf of St Malo off Northern France. The Channel Islands are famous for their cows, dairy products, sweaters, tomatoes and potatoes, and are popular in Europe as a tourist destination. Many visitors remain unaware that they also have their own language, which is now highly endangered. The Channel Islands belong to the British Crown but not to the United Kingdom, and are not full members of the European Union. They are self-governing with regard to internal affairs, with their own parliaments. Guernsey has a population of just under 60,000 (2001 census) and a land area of 62 km2.
