Hugh MacDiarmid (British) was a Scottish writer, essayist, and political figure named Christopher Murray Grieve (11 August 1892 – September 1978).
Grieve wrote Annals of the Five Senses in English, his earliest work, as well as Annals of the Five Sens.
However, he is best known for his book "synthetic Scots," a literary interpretation of Scots terms that he himself invented.
MacDiarmid made greater use of English, some as a "synthetic English" that was supplemented by scientific and technical vocabularies from the 1930s to the present. MacDiarmid, the son of a postman, was born in Langholm, Dumfriesshire, Scotland.
He was educated at Langholm Academy before becoming a teacher at Broughton Higher Grade School in Edinburgh for a short time.
He began his writing career as a journalist in Wales, contributing to Labour Party founder Keir Hardie's newspaper The Merthyr Pioneer, before joining the Royal Army Medical Corps during the First World War.
He worked in Salonica, Greece, and France before he discovered cerebral malaria and then returned to Scotland in 1918.
MacDiarmid's time in the army was pivotal in his political and artistic growth. He continued to work as a journalist after the war in Montrose, where he served as both editor and reporter of the Montrose Review, as well as a member of the county council and justice of the peace.
Annals of the Five Sens in 1923 was his first book, followed by Sangschaw in 1925, and Penny Wheep and A Drunk Man Looks at the Thistle in 1926.
A Drunk Man and his Second wife, Valda Trevlyn, and Michael MacDiarmid were able to write essays and poems on despite being cut off from mainland cultural developments for the majority of the 1930s.
MacDiarmid died in 1978 at the age of 86, at his cottage Brownsbank near Biggar, who was often compared to his contemporaries.
MacDiarmid, a founding member of the National Party of Scotland (forerunner of the modern Scottish National Party) and a candidate for the Scottish National Party in 1945 and 1950, and for the Communist Party of Great Britain in 1964, a controversial figure who has left a lasting impression on Scottish culture and politics.
"Eccentric and often maddening genius he is," Morgan said of him, but MacDiarmid has created several works that, in the only way possible, go on haunting the mind and memory, as well as casting Coleridgean seeds of knowledge and wonder."
Personal life
By his first wife Peggy Skinner, he had a daughter, Christine, and Walter's son, Walter. Michael Trevlyn, son of James Michael Trevlyn (1906-1989), was a conscient objector to the Scottish National Service and became vice chair of the Scottish National Party.
