{"product_id":"9781860571749","title":"Hugh MacDiarmid : Black, Green, Red and Tartan - Bob Purdie","description":"\u003cp\u003eEssential reading for all those with an interest in contemporary Scotland, this is the first study of Hugh MacDiarmid (1892-1978) by a political historian and provides a unique contribution to the understanding of MacDiarmid's politics. Bob Purdie's groundbreaking study outlines why MacDiarmid, the most important literary figure of twentieth-century Scotland, believed that the Scottish culture of his day was making the nation satisfied with its subordinate status within the UK, and why he strove for a self-reliant and independent European nation. Purdie explains why MacDiarmid was a man in constant revolt, against what he viewed as a stiflingly narrow Scottish culture, against all that was provincial and philistine in Scottish society and against Scotland's dependency on England.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bob Purdie","offers":[{"title":"157 pages, 6 photos b\/w \/ 11\/08\/2026 \/ 20th century","offer_id":57300898382199,"sku":"9781860571749","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9781860571749.jpg?v=1784033662","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781860571749","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
