Synopsis
This book is intended both as a tribute and as a critical estimate, of interest both to the professional scholar and to the general reader. It has been a primary purpose of this book to make MacLean's writing more accessible to the non-Gael. In its critical function, the volume will hopefully serve to demonstrate why he is to be regarded as a major poet. The book takes the form of a collection of specially commissioned essays, whose authors' talents are collectively well suited to cover the range of MacLean's life and work in a comprehensive manner. The essays hence deal not only with the major facets of his poetry, but examine also his work in other fields: his contribution to modern Iiterary criticism; his agitation for a better deal for Gaelic in Scottish education; his rich family background, steeped in the best of oral and written Gaelic culture; his very fertile influence on other poets. The book contains also a biographical essay and an essay from James B. Caird, a close friend
