"This masterpiece of historical penetration and literary style has remained one of the ageless historical works Gibbon brought a width of vision and a critical mastery of the available sources which have not been equalled to this day; and the result was clothed in inimitable prose" PMM 222. "For 22 years Gibbon was a prodigy of steady and arduous application. His investigations extended over almost the whole range of intellectual activity for nearly 1500 years. And so thorough were his methods that the laborious investigations of German scholarship the keen criticisms of theological zeal and the steady researches of two centuries have brought to light very few important errors in the results of his labors. But it is not merely the learning of his work learned as it is that gives it character as a history. It is also that ingenious skill by which the vast erudition the boundless range the infinite variety and the gorgeous magnificence of the details are all wrought together in a symmetrical whole. It is still entitled to be esteemed as the greatest historical work ever written" Adams Manual of Historical Literature 146-7. Fred Defau & Company hardcover

Octavo original cloth 3 volumes. Sunset Song is inscribed on the title page "For G. Malcolm Thomson L. Grassic Gibbon."

Grey Granite is inscribed on the title page "For George Malcolm Thomson with good wishes L. Grassic Gibbon." Each are in very good condition. Rare and desirable signed and inscribed. A Scots Quair is revolutionary - innovative in its form deft and humorous in its use of language courageous in its characterization and politics. Central to the trilogy is Chris Guthrie one of the most remarkable female characters in modern literature. In Sunset Song Gibbon's finest achievement the reader follows Chris through her girlhood in a tight-knit Scottish farming community: the seasons the weddings the funerals the grind of work the gossip. As the Great War takes its toll machines replace the old way of life. Cloud Howe and Grey Granite take Chris from her rural homeland to life in an industrial Scotland and the desperate years of the Depression. Gibbon attracted attention from his earliest attempts at fiction notably from H. G. Wells but it was his trilogy entitled A Scots Quair and in particular its first book Sunset Song with which he made his mark. A Scots Quair with its combination of stream-of-consciousness lyrical use of dialect and social realism is considered to be among the defining works of the 20th century Scottish Renaissance. All three parts of the trilogy have been turned into serials by BBC Scotland written by Bill Craig with Vivien Heilbron as Chris. Additionally Sunset Song has been adapted into a film released in 2015. Jarrolds Publishers hardcover
