Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Alan Riach’s The MacDiarmid Memorandum is a work of epic,
category-defying scope; blending biography and national history,
poetry and prose; an intimate portrait of an old friend and mentor,
and a political manifesto calling for revolution. Riach’s poems
begin with MacDiarmid’s childhood in Langholm and his first
attempts to navigate the Scottish landscape. We travel from the
Borders to Shetland, from Edinburgh to rural Lanarkshire. The poems
map a nation where nature is inseparable from political history.
They explore a peculiarly Scottish kind of consciousness, willing
itself to be free yet bowed under the weight of self-suppression.
There is confrontation on various fronts. MacDiarmid experienced
trauma, divorce, breakdown, wildness and later, domestic affection.
At the same time, Scotland endured two world wars, each triggering
a continuing renaissance of Scottish artists and intellectuals,
struggling to regenerate international recognition and
self-determination. Alongside Riach’s poems, the book includes
reproductions of paintings by the artists Alexander Moffat and Ruth
Nicol, focusing on some of the landscapes, friends and associates
MacDiarmid knew most closely through his long life, plus a
frontispiece portrait by William Johnstone and a song-setting by
Ronald Stevenson.
