John Manson's collection of letters to MacDiarmid, or to
Christopher Grieve, or to Hugh or Chris or Christie or Hughie, is a
major work. It is the fruit of a lifetime of dedicated scholarly
research, meticulous, self-effacing study in libraries, most deeply
in the National Library of Scotland and Edinburgh University
Library, and follows his initial co-editorship with David Craig of
the first Penguin paperback edition of MacDiarmid's Selected Poems
(1970), and his later co-editorship of The Revolutionary Art of the
Future: Rediscovered Poems, with Dorian Grieve and Alan Riach
(2003). 'He is a fine poet and translator himself, and his
small-press publications are to be sought out and read closely.
However, this is a monumental achievement: a collection so rich in
diversity, covering historical epochs, strata of human character,
social engagement, political motivation and accomplishment, that it
will take some time before its impact and value really sinks in and
embeds itself in modern literary and political culture - especially
in Scotland!' - from the Introduction by Alan Riach, Professor of
Scottish Literature, University of Glasgow.
