Along with his contemporaries Edwin Morgan and Hugh MacDiarmid,
Sorley MacLean is recognised as one of the most important Scottish
poets of the twentieth century. Born at Oscaig on the island of
Raasay in 1911, MacLean was greatly influenced by Gaelic tradition
and by contemporary cultural and political ideas from around the
world. In many ways he brought Scottish Gaelic poetry into the
modern era, and he is a key figure in modern Scottish literature.
MacLean's poetry ranges beyond Scotland to confront European and
world events and politics. This book offers a detailed study of
MacLean's poems, providing insight into the context of his work. It
also includes close readings of selected poems that best represent
his key themes and ideas. Emma Dymock's SCOTNOTE study guide is
ideal for senior school pupils and students of all ages as a
general introduction or as a starting point for more in-depth
study.
