Soft cover. Etat : Near Fine. First Edition. UNCOMMON COPY - SEE BELOW : Not only is it a Limited Edition it is numbered 64. The actual number of copies amounted to 350. However, please note that only the first 50 numbered were originally signed by the Author and Editor at that time. This copy has, I believe, a far rarer association and signature combination. Additionally, I have come across many of MacDiarmid's Signed works, but never where he has Signed himself as just "Chris". Further, the dedication includes Valda his second wife. The recipients were: - Ernest Brooks and Barbara Niven. Ern Brooks was a talented painter and illustrator, and an enthusiastic worker for the British Labour movement. A graphic artist who followed the major developments in European painting, changing his style, but had little affinity with the extremes of Pop Art, heartily concurring with his lifelong partner, Barbara Niven, also a painter. Brooks and Niven were lifelong members of the Communist Party and in the Thirties had helped found the Manchester Theatre Union, child of Joan Littlewood and the folk singer Ewan McColl. Every month for over two decades Niven wrung money out of supporters for the Daily Worker Fighting Fund. Both were members of the informally organised Communist Party's Artist Group, which brought together a diverse band of people engaged in the visual arts. Ern Brooks and Barbara Niven were typical products of the British Labour movement and in their turn contributed their human warmth and rich talents to its development, all part of our history. Correspondence between the Author and Barbara and Ern are held at the National Library in Scotland (Acc.12074). Very good copy, light rubs at extremities, one very small mark base to upper cover. Internally fine, with the dedication: To Barbara and Ern With Love from Valda and Chris. 28 pages ; 22 cm. So, as you can see, we have a dedication to friends of a like mind as his own, and he has used his natural and Christian name of "Chris", which I believe to be a rare occurrence. This signing will have taken place sometime after publication. Let me highlight some factors about the Author, that I believe endorses the view I hold about this copy. Christopher Murray Grieve (11 August 1892 - 9 September 1978), was best known by his pen name Hugh MacDiarmid. His father was a postman and the family lived above the town library, so, from childhood, Grieve had unrestricted access to books. This encouraged an interest in reading and in language that would remain with him throughout his life. He is credited with effecting a Scottish literary revolution which restored an indigenous Scots literature and he has been acknowledged as the greatest poet that his country has produced since Robert Burns.
