	David Lindsay (novelist) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		David Lindsay (1876-1945) was a British author now most famous for the philosophical novel A Voyage to Arcturus (1920).
		Lindsay was born into a middle-class Scottish Calvinist family who had moved to London, although growing up he spent much time in Jedburgh, where his family originally came from.
		After being out of print for many decades, Lindsay's work has become increasingly available, and he is now seen as being perhaps the major Scottish fantasist of the 20th century, the missing link between George Macdonald, and more modern writers such as Alasdair Gray who have also used surrealism and magic realism in their work.

	Sir David Wilkie
		The third of this patriotic triumvirate, David Wilkie, was born at Cults, Fifeshire, on the 18th of November, 1785.
		His father, the Rev. David Wilkie, minister of the parish of Cults, was an amiable specimen of the Scottish divines of the old patriarchal school, who, besides attending to the duties of his sacred calling, was a most diligent student, as was shown by his "Theory of Interest," a work which he published in 1794.
		It is, that while Sir David Baird is contemplating with emotion the body of the tyrant who had so cruelly treated him when a captive, the feet of the dead man are lying beside the iron-grated door of the dungeon in which his conqueror had been unjustly immured.

		It is the strength of the descriptions which grips the reader, Lindsay conveying the complete otherness of Tormance vividly.
		It is a newly created world, with everything still in the process of developing towards the fixed forms equivalent to Earthly scenery (so that we have new colours, animals appearing out of thin air, Maskull developing new limbs and sense organs appropriate for each experience).
		Lindsay's writing is a tour de force of the imagination, a benchmark to aspire to for any would-be describer of the alien.

	Overview of Scottish Literature (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		David Lindsay lived during the Renaissance, a time which in England and on the Continent saw a burst of Humanistic feeling and Classical inspiration.
		Lindsay is perhaps best known for a very long drama, Ane Pleasant Satire of the Three Estates, a boisterous, wide-ranging satirical allegory in the style of the then-popular morality play.
		The most important Scottish novelist of our century is usually said to be Neil Gunn (1891-1973), whose long series of novels on Scottish themes, while only slightly "vernacular," may surely also be said to reflect the influence of MacDiarmid in their combination of Scottish setting and universality of theme and insight.

		David Lindsay was born in Blackheath, London, on 3 March 1878, and spent most of his life in England; but part of his childhood was spent in Jedburgh with his father's relations after his father deserted the family, and he returned to Scotland for his summers.

		Lindsay is now seen as a key figure in the Scottish fantasy tradition.

		David Kyle, a Melrose proprietor of no little importance, a first-rate person of consequence in whatever belonged to the business of the town, was the original owner and landlord of the inn.
		David being a virtuoso in his own way, and moreover a landholder and heritor, was a qualified judge of all who frequented his house, and therefore I could not avoid again tying the strings of my knees.
		It seems probable, notwithstanding, that David, who was a wise as well as a pious monarch, was not moved solely by religious motives to those great acts of munificence to the church, but annexed political views to his pious generosity.

	Textualities: David Lindsay
		Lindsay was the son of a Border Scot and spent a good deal of his childhood in the Jedburgh area of Scotland, though his adult life was spent in the South of England.
		Lindsay was obsessed by Reality and Phenomenonological appearance - his writings display a unique, almost surrealistic blend of intellect and imagination.
		It is unlikely that any enthusiast of Lindsay's work will ever succeed in completing a collection, yet it would be rewarding to collect what is available as well as to gather together back issues of periodicals such as Lines Review, Cencrastus, and Studies in Scottish Literature which include articles on Lindsay.

		David Lindsays book is more visionary than science fiction.
		Lindsay was a man driven almost mute by the force of his vision-- his novels are difficult to read because in addition to having little talent as a novelist, he was attempting to render in words what can barely be grasped, let alone described-- what early ages would call "the Greater Mysteries".
		Lindsay threw together words and concepts together to create startling impressions and clumsy though many are, they are not as easy to create as they look.

		Perhaps because of the lukewarm public reception of ARTURUS when it was first published, Lindsay resorted to dressing up his metaphysical ideas in the trappings of the conventional British novel.
		Giving Lindsay the benefit of the doubt, I must conclude that his purpose in all of this is to show that the actions of the characters in this real world are indeed trivial when measured against the events which occur in their subconscious--in their dreams.
		Although Lindsay is not entirely successful in the portrayals of the characters and the narrative mid-way through the book tends to become tiresome, the climax which takes the reader by surprise is all at once tragic, shocking, mystical and beautifully written.

		Neither party was moved by the vehement impulse and breaking of the spears; so that the common people affected to cry out that David was bound to the saddle of his horse, contrary to the law of arms, because he sat unmoved amidst the splintering of the lances on his helmet and visage.
		When Earl David heard this, he presently leaped off his charger, and then as quickly vaulted again upon his back without any assistance; and, taking a second hasty course, the spears were a second time shivered by the shock, through their burning desire to conquer.
		Earl David, when victory appeared, hastened to leap suddenly to the ground; for he had fought without anger, and but for glory, that he might shew himself to be the strongest of the champions, and casting himself upon Lord Wells, tenderly embraced him until he revived, and the surgeon came to attend him.

		Though Lewis was not attracted by the themes of Voyage, he was captivated by Lindsay's method of using features of the landscape to suggest psychological and spiritual themes.
		From Lindsay he discovered the secret of creating imagined worlds which were objective correlatives of the spirit, employing a kind of literary expressionism to project his own inner world onto a fictional canvas.
		Even more powerfully than his mentor David Lindsay, Lewis was able to "show what other worlds are good for," to express the otherworld of his own spirit in terms which regale readers' imaginations and encourage them to undertake their own spiritual journeys.

		While a genre novelist can use multiple settings to show different sides of a character's nature, a literary novelist will deliberately hold the setting static so as to concentrate exclusively on the characters.
