All 13 volumes of MacDiarmid's works published as part of Carcanet's MacDiarmid 2000 program. Hugh MacDiarmid is the pen-name of Christopher Murray Grieve (1892-1978), progenitor of the Scottish Literary Renaissance and the greatest Scottish writer of the twentieth century. Since his death, his literary and political influence have remained incalculable. Chiefly by virtue of his work, it became possible to represent Scotland, nationally and internationally, in recognisably modern ways. On the centenary of his birth in 1992, Carcanet launched the MacDiarmid 2000 programme, to bring into print all of his major writings.
