AUTHOR: Edwin MuirCBE(15 May 1887 - 3 January 1959) was a Scottishpoet, novelist and translator. Born on a farm inDeerness, a parish ofOrkney, Scotland, he is remembered for his vivid poetry written in plain language. In 1901, his father lost his farm, and the family moved toGlasgow. In quick succession his father, two brothers, and his mother died within the space of a few years. His life as a young man was a depressing experience, and involved a sequence of unpleasant jobs in factories and offices, including working in a factory that turned bones into charcoal. In 1919, Muir marriedWilla Anderson,and the couple moved to London. Willa and her new husband worked together on many translations, most notabley their translation of works byFranz Kafka. Between 1921 and 1923, Muir lived inPrague,Dresden, Italy, Salzburg andVienna; he returned to the UK in 1924. Between 1925 and 1956, Muir published seven volumes of poetry. From 1927 to 1932 he published three novels, and in 1935 he came toSt Andrews, where he produced his controversialScott and Scotland(1936). In 1939 in St Andrews, Muir had a religious experience and from then onwards thought of himself asChristian, seeing Christianity as being as revolutionary as socialism. From 1946 to 1949 he was Director of theBritish Councilin Prague and Rome. 1950 saw his appointment as Warden ofNewbattle Abbey College(a college for working-class men) inMidlothian, where he met fellow Orcadian poet,George Mackay Brown. In 1955 he was made Norton Professor of English atHarvard University. He returned to Britain in 1956 but died in 1959 atSwaffham Prior,Cambridgeshire, and was buried there. His childhood in remote and unspoiled Orkney represented an idyllicEdento Muir, while his familys move to the city corresponded in his mind to a deeply disturbing encounter with the "fallen" world. Muir came to regard his familys movement from Orkney to Glasgow as a movement from Eden to Hell. The emotional tensions of that dichotomy shaped much of his work and deeply influenced his life. His psychological distress led him to undergoJungian analysisin London. A vision in which he witnessed thecreationstrengthened the Edenic myth in his mind, leading him to see his life and career as the working-out of anarchetypalfable. HisScott and Scotlandadvanced the claim that Scotland can create a national literature only by writing in English, an opinion that placed him in direct opposition to theLallansmovement ofHugh MacDiarmid. He had little sympathy forScottish nationalism. BOOK RESUME: Scottish Journey is a perceptive, subtle, and beautifully written account by one of Scotlands greatest modern writers of prose and poetry. Edwin Muirs journey took him from Edinburgh to the Lowlands, to Glasgow and the Highlands, and the book, while a masterpiece of travel writing, is also a quest for the real nature of Scottish identity.
