Bøger af Murdo Macdonald

What makes Scottish art Scottish? What are the threads that bind it into a single tradition? This book examines the factors and the individual men and women that have shaped the nature and identity of Scottish art.

This book situates Patrick Geddes within his own intellectual background (described by George Davie as 'the democratic intellect') and explores the relevance of that background to Geddes's substantial national and international achievements across a truly impressive range of disciplines.

This is an Edinburgh Classic edition of George Davie's revolutionary account of the history of the movements which set Scotland apart from its neighbours, and of the great personalities involved. First published in 1961, it has proved seminal in restoring to Scotland a sense of the value of its cultural identity.
