    In this extract from the LRB Podcast, Seamus Perry, Mark Ford & Andrew O’Hagan discuss the moral & stylistic turns of ‘Tam o’ Shanter’, its influence on Wordsworth & Coleridge, & what it owes to the Augustan perfectionism of Pope.

  29. Dot Allan’s writing career spanned nearly 40 years, although she was almost completely forgotten until we republished MAKESHIFT and HUNGER MARCH in one volume, edited by Moira Burgess, in 2010 – available in paperback from all good bookshops (& as an ebook from the evil one)

  30. HUNGER MARCH (1934) confines all the action to a single day, with multiple characters & narratives threaded through the novel. MAKESHIFT (1928) “opens with a condemnation of middle-class ladies so pointed and bitter that the reference in HUNGER MARCH pales in comparison”

  31. “It was one of those days when you felt God had forgotten the city…”

    The opening line of a 1930s novel of Depression-era Glasgow: not Blake’s THE SHIPBUILDERS or Barke’s MAJOR OPERATION, but HUNGER MARCH by Dot Allan – born #OTD, 13 May 1886 – which preceded them both.

  33. You told me the brightest flowers grow on sand.

    By the breakwater, a frayed nest of fishers’ rope
    twined into a bouquet: pale blue, green, teal,
    and peach; a twisted tale of what growth is…

    —Jane McKie, “Rope”
