Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Parchment-backed patterned boards; top edge gilt, in slipcase. Slipcase a little darkened. Edition limited to 300 numbered copies signed by the author, this copy inscribed by the publisher to Sydney Goodsir Smith, the author's partner and disciple in the Scottish Renaissance, "To Sydney with best wishes and admiration Kulgin"; printed by Giovanni Mardersteig at the Officina Bodoni. The first of Kulgin Duval's many collaborations with Mardersteig and Hugh MacDiarmid. Not for the last time, the author quotes from himself by way of foreword: "Scottish Poetry since Burns (no; including most of Burns too) would be more tolerable if one could feel oneself in regard to it 'like one walking in the underworld, where the shades throng intelligibly', but have no connection with one! Alas, if one lives in Scotland, this vulgarity is well-nigh inescapable; even if one carefully avoids reading it, it forces itself on one in the social behaviour of nine out of ten people one meets - the horrible button-holing, the aggressive mateyness, the outpouring of fatuous confidences, all 'the atrocities of human intercourse', the incorrigible naivetés, the endless boring repetitiveness . . . Almost all modern Scottish poetry gives off a great sense of warmth and offering, like a dog when it loves you. It is soggily and indiscriminately affectionate. It delights in landscape and the most banal elements of natural history in a fashion that reminds me of how Burns, asked if he did not appreciate a magnificent view, the beauties of which a self-elected guide was volubly expounding, replied: 'How can I, madam, while that ass is braying over it?' Post-Burnsian Scottish poetry is full of that guide's horrible unction - the sordidity rubbed with oil as mothers do their babies whose bowels don t work." Kulgin Duval and Sydney Goodsir Smith were co-editors the following year of Hugh MacDiarmid: a Festschrift, for MacDiarmid's 70th birthday. Signed by Author(s).
