Hugh MacDiarmid is the pen-name of Christopher Murray Grieve (1892-1978), progenitor of the Scottish Literary Renaissance and the greatest Scottish writer of the twentieth century. Since his death, his literary and political influence have remained incalculable. Chiefly by virtue of his work, it became possible to represent Scotland, nationally and internationally, in recognisably modern ways. On the centenary of his birth in 1992, Carcanet launched the MacDiarmid 2000 programme, to bring into print all of his major writings. Books and unclipped jackets all in very good to Near Fine condition. A few of the jackets have marks where price stickers have been removed and there is a small patch of lifting of the surface to the bottom of the spine of 'Scottish Eccentrics'. The 13th volume, 'New Selected Letters' has an inscription from one of the editors, Owen Dudley Edwards, on the title page. Otherwise there are no inscriptions in any of the books.
