Reviews for Hugh MacDiarmid´s Poetry and Politics of Place: Imagining a Scottish Republic
This is the first book I've read which takes a patient, detailed, cautious yet essentially humane evaluation of what MacDiarmid's politics were, how they came about and what their lasting significance might be...There are real insights into the poetry and literary practice of the man, and the literary, political and personal milieux of his life.
