Description

A second volume of letters of probably the most significant Scottish public intellectual and artist of the late 20th century--a companion volume to Midway (2014).These letters centre on the initial development of the garden at Stonypath, near Edinburgh, later to become the world renowned 'Little Sparta'.

A companion to Midway, this is the second volume of letters of Ian Hamilton Finlay (1925-2006), the leading Scottish poet, artist, sculptor, and garden designer. His garden at Stonypath, now called Little Sparta has been described as the only truly original garden created since 1945. These letters to and from Finlay's friend, the English poet and scholar Stephen Bann, center on the initial development of the garden near Edinburgh. They cover Finlay's turn away from poetry towards sculpture and garden design and the thinking behind, and consequences of, this development.
