Synopsis

'Convincingly demonstrates why MacLean was as important an influence on the badachd as Eliot and Pound were on English-language poetry' - Kevin MacNeil, Sunday Herald 'The poetry event of the year ... a fitting tribute to a poet of MacLean's towering stature' - The Herald 'A really good buy for lovers of poetry, of Gaelic, and for those of us who still miss Maclean's insight into the world around us' - Argyll FM This Collected Works of Sorley MacLean brings together published poetry from MacLean's own edited volumes of poetry, poetry previously published in various magazines, literary journals and anthologies, and poetry which has never been published before. The poems will be given in their original Gaelic with English translations. The volume opens with a biographical summary of Maclean's childhood on Raasay, his life at university and war experiences, and examines MacLean's effect on Gaelic and Scottish literature, and his literary, political and philosophical influences, which included Gaelic traditional song, Romanticism and Modernism, as well as Communism and Fascism.
