The only book on Hugh MacDiarmid currently in print, this study
gives unique focus to the politics of one of modern Scotland's
major cultural figures. By examining at length for the first time
those places in Scotland that inspired MacDiarmid to produce his
best poetry, it shows how the poet's politics evolved from his
interaction with the nation, exploring how MacDiarmid discovered a
hidden tradition of radical Scottish Republicanism through which he
sought to imagine a new Scottish future. Adapting postcolonial
theory, this book allows readers a fuller understanding not only of
MacDiarmid's poetry and politics, but also of international
modernism, and the social history of Scottish modernism. Key
features * The first full length study to focus on MacDiarmid's
politics * Analyses recently available government files from the
National Archives showing that MacDiarmid was watched by the
Security Services from 1931 to 1943. This has never appeared before
in any book * Draws uniquely on Carcanet's multi-volume MacDiarmid
2000 series * The first critical book to use the 'Red Scotland'
typescript in the National Library of Scotland and have access to
the recently rediscovered poems collected as The Revolutionary Art
of the Future (2003).
