Annals of the Five Senses and Other Stories, Sketches and Plays

0/5 ( ratings)

Annals of the Five Senses was the first book to be published by C.M. Grieve, the man who became known as Hugh MacDiarmid. It is a collection of intense psychological studies which put us in mind of Dostoevsky's Notes from Underground. Written in the immediate aftermath of World War I, these 'studies' are acts of intellectual survival and promise, some based obliquely on his own life, others daringly prophetic. Male and female viewpoints are explored 'from the inside'.

This volume also includes MacDiarmid's short fiction - a range of stories mainly from the 1920s and 1930s, with brilliant vignettes in vernacular Scots, short plays, a ballet scenario, and hitherto unpublished material.

Language: English

Pages: 320
