Biography

Who is Gibbon LewisGrassic?

Scottish writer best known for his trilogy A Scots Quair (1932-1934), set in the north-east of Scotland in early years of the 20th century. He started out as a journalist at the age of 16, but was fired for fiddling his expenses. After a spell in military service, he settled in England in 1925, and became a full-time writer in 1929. His trilogy, A Scots Quair, and in particular its first book Sunset Song, brought him to attention. A Scots Quair, with its combination of stream-of-consciousness and lyrical use of dialect, is considered to be among the defining works of 20th century Scottish Renaissance. All three parts have been turned into serials by BBC Scotland. Additionally, Sunset Song, the first book in the trilogy has been adapted into a film, released in 2015. Spartacus, a 1933 novel set in the famous slave revolt, is his best-known full-length work outside this trilogy. In 1934 Mitchell collaborated with Hugh MacDiarmid on Scottish Scene which included three of Gibbons short stories. These were collected posthumously in A Scots Hairst (1969). He died on 7 February 1935 at age 33 of peritonitis brought on by a perforated ulcer. Link to Wikipedia
