As a child Iain Crichton Smith was raised speaking Gaelic on the
island of Lewis. At school in Stornoway he spoke English. Like many
islanders before and since, his culture was divided: two languages
and two histories entailing exile. His divided perspective
delineated the tyranny of history and religion, of the cramped life
of small communities, and gave him a compassionate eye for the
struggle of women and men in a world defined by denials. After the
Dance proves that big themes - love, history, power, submission,
death - can be addressed without the foil of irony and acquire
resonance when given a local habitation and a voice that risks
pure, humane, impassioned speech. This updated edition includes the
story 'Home'
