Eric Linklater (1899 - 1974) was one of the most prolific authors
of his generation. Although his books were highly popular in the
1930s and 1940s, he began to fall out of fashion in the post-war
world. However the quality of his work remains, and today his craft
and narrative gifts are once again being appreciated. Christopher
Nicol's Scotnote examines two of Linklater's novels, Private Angelo
and The Dark of Summer. Both novels are set during World War II,
and Linklater's unflinching portrayal of the folly and cruelty of
war is warmed by his compassionate understanding of the emotions
and motivations of ordinary human beings swept up in the chaos of
conflict. The first, Private Angelo, was written in 1944 and 1945,
in the heat of the final years of the war and its immediate, and
hopeful, aftermath. The second, The Dark of Summer, came more than
ten years later, as that original optimism had faded and the Cold
War began to grip. The social, cultural and political backgrounds
of each novel are discussed and contrasted. This guide is suitable
for senior school pupils and students at all levels.
