1932réf. 124744London: Jarrolds Publishers 1932-1934. First editions of each volume of Gibbon's classic trilogy describing the life of Chris Guthrie a woman from the north-east of Scotland during the early 20th century each volume inscribed by him to George Malcolm Thomson. Octavo original cloth 3 volumes. Sunset Song is inscribed on the title page "For G. Malcolm Thomson L. Grassic Gibbon." Cloud Howe is the dedication copy inscribed on the title page "For the 'dedicatee' with kind regards. 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
