Charles Murray and A Sough o’ War
Robert Crawford discusses Charles Murray, an Aberdeenshire-born poet who published most of his verse while living in South Africa. Writing in Doric – with a density and nostalgia intensified by his exilic longing for home – Murray produced A Sough o’ War (1917). Although Murray is, certainly from a modern perspective, unpalatably committed to imperial militarism, he nevertheless produced enduring works with a fervent sense of connection to the Aberdeenshire countryside.
