  • The Genealogy of the Families of Douglas of Mulderg and Robertson
    Iill I . //J. ^ National Library of Scotland *B000426185* 7UBRA8 THE GENEALOGY OF THE FAMILIES DOUGLAS OF MULDERG ROBERTSON OF KINDEACE WITH THEIR DESCENDANTS DINGWALL: A. M. ROSS & COMPANY. MDCCCXCV. PREFATORY NOTICE. We think it may be well to state here the reasons why the genealogical outlines •of the families of Douglas of Mulderg and Robertson of Kindeace have been printed. They are the work of a descendant of the Douglas family, who lives amongst us, and has been known during the last thirty or forty years as a genea- logist of gx-eat ability and possessing very wide information. This gentleman has frequently of late years been asked for information regarding these two families, therefore he has kindly complied with the request of some of those interested in the Douglas and Robertson families that his genealogical knowledge of them should be printed. The advantage of printing will be seen when it is understood that a large portion of the matter this book contains has not hitherto been pub- lished, and might easily be lost and forgotten, as many of the descendants of these families have not been proprietors of land and their representatives have gone to all quarters of the globe in order to make their fortunes. The habit of wandering far afield has rendered the collection of full particulars in some cases extremely difficult, and in others impossible ; so, when there are errors in this book, they may, we hope, be pardoned, as great care has been taken in trying to avoid mistakes. It is with considerable regret that the system of giving authorities for every sentence and word has been abandoned ; but, if this plan is properly carried out, it increases the bulk of a book to a tremendous extent, and, owing to the long quotations necessary, renders a genealogy rather broken ; also, if the system of giving authorities is not scrupulously adhered to, it leaves as much room for romance and false statements as there would be if no authorities were given.

Ian Campbell A Tribute that Never Was: The Plan for A Lewis Grassic Gibbon Festschrift Hugh MacDiarmid received two telegrams on 8 February 1935, both with the same very bad news: Leslie Mitchell had died in London of peritonitis. One telegram came from Mrs. Mitchell in Welwyn Garden City, the other from their staunch mutual friend Helen Cruickshank in Edinburgh. In James Leslie Mitchell, better known under his pseudonym of Lewis Grassic Gibbon, Scotland had lost one of its foremost men of letters, as author of Sunset Song one of its most popular writers of the century. The joint propulsion given to the renaissance of Scottish writing by the pseudonymous friendship of MacDiarmid and Gibbon would now have to come more singly from MacDiarmid, himself in 1935 at a low point in his own personal fortunes.

Reviewing the Collected Letters is always a pleasure, so rich are they in content, so splendidly are they edited. However, this review is marked by con­ siderable sadness, for Clyde Ryals, one of the Senior Editors, died in 1998. Snatched from us in the bloom of his celebrated career, far too early for his fellow Carlyleans who loved and respected his concise mind and gentle heart, Clyde will be sorely missed and never forgotten. The Collected Letters under review here remains a monument to the fore­ sight and skill of Clyde Ryals and Edinburgh Emeritus Saintsbury Professor of English Literature K. J. Fielding. The fact that these letters are edited so ex­ pertly is a tribute to the scholarly ingenuity of the editors.

  • Hugh Macdiarmid, Naomi Mitchison, Alasdair Gray
    The Image of the Nation as a Woman in Twentieth Century Scottish Literature: Hugh MacDiarmid, Naomi Mitchison, Alasdair Gray Kirsten Stirling In fulfilment of the degreeof PhD University of Glasgow Departmentof Scottish Literature July 2001 Abstract This thesis considersthe use of the allegorical personification of the nation as a woman in the work of the twentieth century Scottish writers Hugh MacDiarmid, Naomi Mitchison and Alasdair Gray. The image of nation as woman, whether as mother, virgin, goddessor victim is widespread in Europeaniconography from the eighteenth century onwards,but is not common in Scotlanduntil the twentieth century. Not only is the objectification of the female figure intrinsic to such imagery objectionable from a feminist point of view, but the female stereotypeswhich surround the figure of the nation are contradictory, and it ultimately reinforces a sexist ideology which constructs women as victims. These political flaws and contradictions are highlighted when the metaphor is consideredin the context of Scotland's peculiar political situation. The three authorsconsidered here exemplify very different usesof the nation-as- woman trope. Comparing their work shows that the image is used differently by male and female writers, and that the changesin both gender politics and nationalist theory during the course of the twentieth century mean that its use in the 1990sis much more self-conscious and parodic than when it is used by Hugh MacDiarmid in the 1920s. Nation as woman is a trope which is much more easily used by male authors, as for example in the work of MacDiarmid and Gray, whereas Naomi Mitchison, in appropriating the voice of mother Scotland,finds problems assertingher own voice as a woman writer in Scotland.

Gordon University of Glasgow Department of Scottish Literature April 2000 © Katherine H~ Gordon 11 Abstract This dissertation examines the representations of self in the poetry of Violet Jacob (1863-1946) and Marion Angus (1865-1946), two Scottish poets who wrote primarily in Scots in the inter-war years. Until recently, many critics have dismissed the work of Jacob and Angus as 'minor' in its themes or significant only as it anticipates the Scots poetry of Hugh MacDiarmid. The general absence of their work from print, and the narrow range of their poems appearing in anthologies, support the impression that their poetry is limited in scope; This dissertation suggests that in fact their poetry makes a significant contribution to the development of Scottish poetry.

Lyons © 2019 Carys Atlanta O’Neill ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores the visibility of women in traditionally masculine Scottish national narratives as evidenced by their physical representation, or lack thereof, in the cultural heritage landscape. Beginning with the 1707 Act of Union between Scotland and England, a moment cemented in history, literature, and popular memory as the beginning of a Scottish rebirth, this thesis traces the evolution of Scottish national identity and the tropes employed for its assertion to paint a clearer picture of the power of strategic selectivity and the effects of sacrifice in the process of community definition.
