Andrew Duncan Senior
Dr Andrew Duncan (1744-1828) was a remarkable medical figure during the Scottish Enlightenment whose influence continues to this day. His name lives on in the Andrew Duncan Clinic, established in 1965 as part of the Royal Edinburgh Hospital. Born the son of a Fife shipmaster, Duncan rose to become Physician to the King and was twice President of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh. He saw the need for a Dispensary for the Sick Poor, and a Lunatic Asylum where inmates were treated humanely. A champion of public health, he founded, in the face of opposition, a Chair of Medical Jurisprudence and Public Health at the University of Edinburgh, the first in Britain. A man of wide interests, Duncan was a very sociable character with impressive organisational vigour who founded many societies and dining clubs including the Aesculapian and Harveian Societies, and the Royal Caledonian Horticultural Society, which still survive. He realised the value of exercise and founded a gymnastic club where, among other sports, he engaged in his favourite recreation of golf. He climbed Arthur's Seat regularly on the first of May until his 82nd year. Book jacket.
On the Margins of Great Empires: Selected Poems
At this point in time Andrew Duncan is better known as a poetry critic - and an entertaining, waspish, and unusual critic at that. His own poetry has been under-recognised and several previous collections are out of print. This Selected edition gives the poetry-reading pubic a valuable chance to re-engage with a very original voice.
The Failure of Conservatism in Modern British Poetry
A treatment of 40 years of British poetry from the angle of time. We watch the wonderful helplessness of new poetics as it struggles to free itself from the chrysalis of the old. We watch the life-cycle of new ideas as they open up chaos, channel it into permanent form, and age into predictability and disillusion. We realise the strangeness of the past and go in to sample lost sounds and exotic shapes.
