The Poetry Of Sorley Maclean (Scotnotes Ser. #30)
by Emma DymockAlong with his contemporaries Edwin Morgan and Hugh MacDiarmid, Sorley MacLean is recognised as one of the most important Scottish poets of the twentieth century. Born at Oscaig on the island of Raasay in 1911, MacLean was greatly influenced by Gaelic tradition and by contemporary cultural and political ideas from around the world. In many ways he brought Scottish Gaelic poetry into the modern era, and he is a key figure in modern Scottish literature. MacLean’s poetry ranges beyond Scotland to confront European and world events and politics. This book offers a detailed study of MacLean’s poems, providing insight into the context of his work. It also includes close readings of selected poems that best represent his key themes and ideas. This Scotnote is ideal for senior school pupils and students of all ages as a general introduction or as a starting point for more in-depth study.

James McGonigal’s Second Edition of this Scotnote (2013) covers the entirety of Morgan’s work throughout the poet’s long and hugely productive life, and is an ideal guide for senior school pupils and students to Morgan’s overflowing creativity.

Gerard Carruthers’ Scotnote provides an overview of Stevenson’s life and work, and focuses on three novels in particular: The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, The Master of Ballantrae, and The Ebb-Tide, each in it own way a story of good and evil, and the conflicting impulses felt by the human spirit. Suitable 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.
Robert Burns (Scotnotes Ser. No. 9)
by Kenneth SimpsonRobert Burns is perhaps Scotland’s foremost cultural icon, and is the world’s most widely celebrated poet. Sometimes his fame – and his face on all those teatowels – stands in the way of an appreciation of the sheer scope of his genius. Although occasionally derided by ignorant and unthinking persons as “doggerel”, Burns’s poetry contains great depths of humanity, philosophy, humour and rare beauty. Kenneth Simpson’s Scotnote provides students with a brief and authoritative introduction to Burns, his life and his work.
