Sydney Goodsir Smith, Poet: Essays on His Life and Work

4/5 ( ratings)

Sydney Goodsir Smith, Poet: Essays on His Life and Work offers the first substantial, academic work to assess the many strands of the life and work since his premature death in 1975. Considered a major figure in the second wave of Hugh MacDiarmid’s ‘Scottish Literary Renaissance’, Smith’s unique body of work has largely fallen from critical discussion of post-war Scottish literature.

This book remedies this by showing how his work may have fallen out of favour, and then by reappraising his distinctive and varied achievements in poetry, drama, art and art criticism, the novel and translations. Early career and established academics explore the many strands of his work as the best way of giving this multifaceted literary figure renewed attention.
