Abstract

(p25) As a Unionist, Walter Scott was ambivalent about "independent nationhood", but Hubbard's essay 'Furth of the Isles: Walter Scott's Poetry in Translation During the Nineteenth Century', has a different focus. Hubbard's essay "Hugh MacDiarmid: The Integrative Vision" links MacDiarmid to Baudelaire and Rilke, declaring that all three are modern poets 'who have resisted the fragmenting, trivialising tendencies of their times', (p73). The essay, in fact, celebrates Joe Corrie as playwright and folk musician from the Fife mining culture, and compares him to Zola and D.H. Lawrence, both of whom wrote about miners, to help in illuminating anew "certain of Corrie's qualities" (p77). [Extracted from the article]
