	Hugh MacDiarmid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hugh MacDiarmid was the pen name of Christopher Murray Grieve (August 11, 1892, Langholm - September 9, 1978), perhaps the most important Scottish poet of the 20th century.
		He was instrumental in creating a truly Scottish version of modernism and was, perhaps, the leading light in the Scottish literary Renaissance of the 20th century.
		MacDiarmid grew up in the Scottish Borders town of Langholm, where his closest living relatives still reside.

	BBC - Writing Scotland - Hugh MacDiarmid
		Hugh MacDiarmid was born Christopher Murray Grieve, in the Scottish border town of Langholm in 1892.
		MacDiarmid spent much of the 1930s cut off from mainland cultural developments on the Shetland island of Whalsay, but he continued to write ground-breaking and stylistically innovative poetry, as well as extensive journalism in which he explained his vision for a Scottish renaissance that was both cultural and political.
		MacDiarmid died in 1978 and the cottage is now run as a museum and writers' centre.

	University of Delaware: HUGH MacDIARMID: AN EXHIBITION
		Hugh MacDiarmid, the most prominent Scottish literary figure of the twentieth century, was born Christopher Murray Grieve on August 11, 1892 in Langholm, a small Scottish town along the English border.
		MacDiarmid was elected as a Socialist Town Councilor and county Justice of the Peace when he lived in Montrose; he was also active in Scottish Nationalist politics and was a founding member of the National Party of Scotland which was formed in 1928.
		MacDiarmid's communism led to his expulsion from the National Party of Scotland; ironically, he was expelled from the Communist Party in 1938 for nationalist deviation, though he later was allowed to rejoin the Party in 1956.

	Grieve, Christopher Murray (1892-1978). Poet. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Hugh MacDiarmid, the greatest figure in twentieth century Scottish literature, was born Christopher Murray Grieve in Langholm on 11 August 1892, the son of a postman.
		MacDiarmid used dialect words, many of them obscure and discovered in Jamieson's Dictionary of the Scottish Language, to create a poetic language which came to be known by the forties as Lallans (this term, meaning Lowland Scots, already existed, having been used by Burns to describe his own poetic language).
		MacDiarmid's advocacy (not without its detractors) of Lallans was central to his "Scottish Renaissance" movement, one of the aims of which was to oppose the nineteenth-century sentimental manner in Scottish literature.

	University of Delaware: HUGH MACDIARMID PAPERS
		Hugh MacDiarmid was born Christopher Murray Grieve on August 11, 1892 in Langholm, a small Scottish town along the English border.
		MacDiarmid's inability to pay his share of the directorship inevitably led to a financial dispute and he was asked to leave the press within the year.
		MacDiarmid may have remained on Whalsay even longer if he were not conscripted for National Service in 1941, at the age of forty-eight, to work in factories and in the Merchant Service until 1943.

		Hugh MacDiarmid was born Christopher Murray Grieve on 11th August 1892 in Langholm, Dumfriesshire.
		MacDiarmid's later poetry may well be the kind he wanted, but not all his readers can readily accept the lengthy cataloguing of prosaic facts, the interminable quotations, the scientific data, the contradictions, yet in this "strong solution of books" we are always conscious of the poet at work and in control.
		MacDiarmid is a difficult poet, but he can also write simply and directly, just as the man who could be so vitriolic and opinionated an adversary was also one of the kindliest and most generous of friends.

	The Watergaw by Hugh MacDiarmid - Poetry Archive
		Hugh MacDiarmid (1892-1978) remains a controversial and influential figure.
		MacDiarmid described Scots as "an inexhaustible quarry of subtle and significant sound" and believed only Scots was capable of capturing a distinctive Scottish sensibility.
		This had political as well as linguistic implications and MacDiarmid engaged passionately with the politics of the time - he was both a Scottish nationalist and member of the SNP and also a member of the Communist Party, a divided loyalty that got him into trouble with both.

		A selection from 300 recently discovered poems by Hugh MacDiarmid, who 25 years after his death is still a dissenting voice, are presented in this collection.
