Hundreds of undiscovered poems found in archive
LESLEY DUNCAN: EXCLUSIVE
An unknown poem by Hugh MacDiarmid, regarded as Scotland's greatest poet of
the 20th century, reveals he appeared to welcome London's threatened
destruction in the Blitz.
The work is among hundreds of previously undiscovered poems found 25 years
after MacDiarmid's death scattered through a major collection of his
material bought by the National Library of Scotland in 1990 for £250,000.

"The collection of unknown poems has been described as wonderful by Dr Alan
Riach, general editor of the Complete Works of Hugh MacDiarmid and head of
the Scottish Literature department at Glasgow University. They will be
included in a new three-volume edition of MacDiarmid's complete poems."
