About This Item
Edinburgh: Paul Harris Publishing, 1979. pp 76 A play set in the fishing village of Clyth, Caithness, which concerns the aftermath of a tragic shipwreck which took place in January 1876, leaving six widows and twenty-six children of the village in a state of acute poverty. Fine in black cloth in a fine photographic dust jacket, signed by the author to the title page. Provenance: from the recent Glasgow dispersal sale of Alasdair Gray's library. Gray (1934-2019) is acknowledged as one of the most innovative figures in Scottish literature and culture. Painter, novelist, playwright, poet and editor, Gray frequently combined his diverse artistic talents within single works to challenge existing forms. He has been described as 'Blending satire and tragedy, realism and fantasy, his work has been credited with spurring a renaissance in Scottish literature.'
