The pieces are of varying scale, forces and forms. The commentary outlines the range and nature of the texts used and the compositional approaches taken to their use. The musical idioms of the pieces are discussed, as well as their forms and the forces used. The pieces are largely post-tonal and several are influenced by the serialist tradition. The commentary considers the portfolio in the broad context of Scots literature and culture, and notes the international context of three of the pieces.

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Hugh MacDiarmid and Sorley MacLean: Modern Makars, Men of Letters, transcribes and annotates 76 letters (65 hitherto unpublished), between MacDiarmid and MacLean.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 These letters from Valda were archived with the unpublished correspondence from MacDiarmid which the Gaelic poet preserved.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.

Ruth McQuillan The Complete MacDiarmid My first reaction on buying Hugh MacDiarmid's Complete Poems 1 at Christmas 1978 for what now seems the incredibly low price of £15 was one of disappointment. Disappointment first that Dr. Aitken, whom the poet long ago appointed as his "bibliographer and rembrancer," and whom he had chosen to edit in company with Michael Grieve the definitive edition of his published work, had included no bibliographical notes. And secondly disappointment because of the technical defects of Martin Brian & O'Keefe's production. The title-page is creased in the binding (though I am assured other early purchasers were luckier than I); ink is regret tably scarce on several pages of the Sangschaw poems, and again in sections of In Memoriam ,James Joyoe; and the type setting of the page-heading "Hitherto Uncollected Poems" is not well or spaced. And yet the fly leaf bears the proud boast: "Printed in Scotland by Robert MacLehose & Co.

Makar's Court
Culture and Sport Committee 2.00pm, Monday, 20 March 2017 Makars’ Court: Proposed Additional Inscriptions Item number Report number Executive/routine Wards All Executive Summary Makars’ Court at the Writers’ Museum celebrates the achievements of Scottish writers. This ongoing project to create a Scottish equivalent of Poets’ Corner at Westminster Abbey was the initiative of the former Culture and Leisure Department, in association with the Saltire Society and Lothian and Edinburgh Enterprise Ltd, as it was then known. It was always the intention that Makars’ Court would grow and develop into a Scottish national literary monument as more writers were commemorated. At its meeting on 10 March 1997 the then Recreation Committee established that the method of selecting writers for commemoration would involve the Writers’ Museum forwarding sponsorship requests for commemorating writers to the Saltire Society, who would in turn make a recommendation to the Council. The Council of the Saltire Society now recommends that two further applications be approved, to commemorate William Soutar (1898-1943) – poet and diarist, and George Campbell Hay (1915-1984) – poet. Links Coalition Pledges P31 Council Priorities CP6 Single Outcome Agreement SO2 Report Makar’s Court: Proposed Additional Inscriptions 1. Recommendations 1.1 It is recommended that the Committee approves the addition of the proposed new inscriptions to Makars’ Court. 2.

Contemporary Poetry (1950–) Attila Dósa and Michelle Macleod
CHAPTER NINE Contemporary Poetry (1950–) Attila Dósa and Michelle Macleod While Scottish Modernism has been described as ‘inter-national’ in the previous chapter, a progressively self-confdent transnationalism alongside a self-refexive hybridisation of the speech forms and cultures of home has characterised poetry since the war. Dialogic engagement with diferent literatures and languages within and outwith Scotland identifes a number of poets from Edwin Morgan to Kathleen Jamie, whose works investigate man as both a socially determined individual and a spiritual being independent of political borders: Matt McGuire and Colin Nicholson, in fact, refer to a sense of freedom in contemporary Scottish poetry.1 The literary and linguistic intersections can be traced out with the help of Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of a ‘minor literature’ – ‘not the literature of a minor language but the literature a minority makes in a major language’ 2 – which, striving to fnd a voice in an idiom at once familiar and strange, operates in the twofold paradigm of deterritorial- isation and political commitment in order to construct a literature that holds collective value. The second wave of the Scottish Renaissance is barely more than a label of convenience, which embraces a clutch of divergent talents coming into maturity in the 1950s. This includes Norman MacCaig (1910–1996), whose Riding Lights (1955) presents philosophical contem- plations of lucid and compact images from North-West Highland farm life, as in ‘Summer Farm’: ‘I lie, not thinking, in the cool, sof grass, / Afraid of where a thought might take me’. Looking back, the closest equivalent to these metaphysical poems may be found in William Drummond’s medieval Scots poems, though neither is their strange negativity too far from Edwin Muir’s near-contemporary existentialist mind-set.
