Abstract
This was an intermediary but vital period of cultural change. The young Scottish poets of the late sixties (including D.M. Black, Alan Jackson, Kenneth White; Robin Fulton, and the first appearances of Tom Leonard and Liz Lochhead) heralded this new spirit ¨Cvery much of its time¨C and took us beyond the familiar arguments for and against the use of Scots, beyond the Renaissance agendas of national psychology and identity.
