John Manson
28 August 2020
We were sorry to learn of the death of John Manson. The poet,
translator, critic, and literary historian died on 3 August
2020.
His publications include the major work Dear Grieve: Letters
to Hugh MacDiarmid (C.M. Grieve) (Glasgow: Kennedy & Boyd, 2011) and collections of
McDiarmid's poetry.
John Manson was a recipient of the Saltire Society's Andrew
Fletcher of Saltoun Award in recognition of his outstanding
contribution to Scotland's life and culture.
The Herald (Alan Riach, 27 August 2020) and The Saltire Society website carry
appreciations.
