description: Alan Riach divides this book into two parts, 1920-1945 and 1945-1978. The first part begins with 'A New Movement in Scottish Literature', the point of departure of the Scottish Renaissance, and in what follows MacDiarmid develops his literary and political stance. The second part reflects the development of MacDiarmid's nationalism and pursues his interests in world literature, with considerations of Pound, Brecht and Joyce.
