Abstract:

Up until the early 1970s, George Mackay Brown wrote almost exclusively poems. Between the years 1972 and 1974, however, he produced two novels and a collection of short stories of considerable extent. This does not seem to be a coincidence, which is why interconnections between the texts in terms of a common underlying thought substratum, language employed, and motifs e.g. darkness/light, silence/sounds, blindness, and religion will be discussed in this thesis.
