This one dedicated in ink to ffep 'For Barbara and Ern With love Hugh Macdiarmid . 'Christopher Murray Grieve, known by his pen name, Hugh MacDiarmid was a Scottish poet, journalist, essayist, and political figure. He is considered one of the principal forces behind the Scottish Renaissance and has had a lasting impact on Scottish culture and politics. He had a son, James Michael Trevlyn, known as Michael, by his second wife Valda Trevlyn (1906-1989). In English with some Scots. Provenance: Ern Brooks was a talented painter and illustrator, and an enthusiastic worker for the British Labour movement. A graphic artist who followed the major developments in European painting, changing his style, but had little affinity with the extremes of Pop Art, heartily concurring with his lifelong partner, Barbara Niven, also a painter. Brooks and Niven were lifelong members of the Communist Party and in the Thirties had helped found the Manchester Theatre Union, child of Joan Littlewood and the folk singer Ewan McColl. Every month for over two decades Niven wrung money out of supporters for the Daily Worker Fighting Fund. Both were members of the informally organised Communist Party's Artist Group, which brought together a diverse band of people engaged in the visual arts. Ern Brooks and Barbara Niven were typical products of the British Labour movement and in their turn contributed their human warmth and rich talents to its development, all part of our history. Correspondence between the Author and Barbara and Ern are held at the National Library in Scotland (Acc.12074). Very good paperback, light rubs at extremities.
