Lewis Grassic Gibbon galvanised the Scottish literary scene in 1932 with 'Sunset Song', the first novel of the epic trilogy 'A Scots Quair', which drew vividly upon his upbringing on a croft in Aberdeenshire to capture the zeitgeist of the early twentieth century and provide a compelling moral mandate for social and political change in the inter-war period. Yet his literary legacy of seventeen volumes produced in his short life, under his own name of James Leslie Mitchell as well as his Scots pseudonym, testify to his versatility, as historian, essayist, biographer, and fiction writer. Set against an informed conspectus of the author's life and times and incorporating substantive new source material, this study highlights his core principles, rooted in his rural upbringing: his restless humanitarianism and his veneration for the natural world.
