Poetry Of Iain Crichton Smith (Scotnotes Ser. #No. 8)
by John BlackburnIain Crichton Smith was one of the foremost poets of the 20th century, writing in English and Gaelic. His poetry often concerns itself with unsentimental views of life in the Western Highlands and Islands, and his dislike of, and opposition to, dogmatic authority. John Blackburn’s Scotnote analyses the religious, political and historical themes and patterns of Crichton Smith’s work, and is a suitable guide for senior school pupils and students at all levels.
George Douglas Brown's The House with the Green Shutters (Scotnotes Ser. No. 3)
by Iain Crichton SmithThe House with the Green Shutters is a dark, provocative novel, shining a harsh and unforgiving light into the inner recesses of small-town Scotland at the turn of the last century. Written as a response to social change, and as an antidote to the sentimentality of the ‘Kailyard’ school, the author called it “a brutal and bloody work” – although a thread of sly humour runs through the book as well. Iain Crichton Smith’s Scotnote explores this post-romantic masterpiece through a precise analysis of themes, characters, structure and language, and is ideal for senior school pupils and students.
