Norman MacCaig
Norman MacCaig, who died in 1996, is widely regarded as Scotland's finest contemporary poet, whose later poetry is both accessible and popular. This perceptive study places him in his literary and social contexts and conveys the vigorous intelligence, pithy humour and surprise that characterizes his writing. Approaching the poetry thematically rather than sequentially the author gives a vivid impression of the whole poet and offers both an introduction to and an analysis of MacCaig's major poems with helpful connecting commentary. Throughout this study Alasdair Macrae allows the sharp wit, intelligence and humaneness of the poems to speak to readers and shock, delight and challenge them.
W.B. Yeats
This is not a straightforward biography but rather an attempt to describe and examine Yeats as a phenomenon, partly shaped by forces and movements around him and partly shaping the public events of his time. His position in literary, political and cultural matters is detailed and the book offers, through the study of Yeats, an introduction to the fashions of ideas between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Her Outlaw
With her thirtieth birthday looming, American widow Emma Tate yearns for the excitement and adventure of her youth. When she indulges her desires by flirting with a handsome stranger on a busy London street, she hasn't a clue that the man is the notorious Highland Reiver, a thief with surprising—and dangerous—ties to Emma's past. When Dair MacRae spies the unique ruby pendant nestled against the beauty's bountiful charms, he knows he must have both the necklace and the woman. Dair never hesitates to take what he wants, but the last thing he expects is to be the one robbed—of his heart. So he tempts the young widow with a scandalous offer and they begin a daring and fated adventure that takes them from England to Scotland and finally, home to Texas in an effort to win the greatest prize of all—love.
