Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

‘MacDiarmid … valued honesty and wisdom and would have saluted them in Bob Purdie … [his book] would also have won MacDiarmid’s heart for its pace, its wit, its clarity and its entertainment.’ Owen Dudley Edwards ‘Bob Purdie has analysed Hugh MacDiarmid's politics in this important new book. As the sage said, politics is 'Bairns' play' compared to poetry - but essential to get right.’ Professor Christopher Harvie 'Hugh MacDiarmid ... casts a giant sheddae ower the Scottish leeterary laundscape. Sae this new buik o Bob Purdie's is a walcome addition tae the cairn o warks written anent the great man.' Rab Wilson, Lallans ‘shows convincingly that the most substantial and enduring of MacDiarmid's political convictions were two contradictory ideas, communism and Scottish nationalism.’ Paul Henderson Scott, Scottish Review 'Scholarly and affectionate … The first work on MacDiarmid to concentrate on his politics and deserves to be read for that reason alone … as Purdie shows, MacDiarmid was a utopian rather than a practical politician - a visionary who saw a new Scotland being forged through culture rather than party.’ George Kerevan, The Scotsman
