- English abstract
- After outlining for an international readership the background and significance of the multilingual Scottish poet George Campbell Hay (1915–1984), the article examines how Hay's reading of French Resistance literature in 1943-44, especially the periodical Fontaine, impacted on his thinking on war and patrie. It proposes that some of his most anthologised war-time poems (from his time in the Maghreb and Italy), including the acclaimed 'Bisearta', owe directly to encounters with contemporary French writings, and that Hay's creation of literary ramps between Scotland and Europe was a humanist poet's response to the chaos and seeming collapse of civilisation around him.
