Summary:
"Rev. Duncan B. Blair (1815-1893) was “an excellent linguist, a good poet, and a devout man. As an accurate writer of Gaelic he had no superior.” Blair composed sacred poems, laments and secular poems and songs.
Mac-Talla
, the first Gaelic newspaper in the world was published in
Sydney
,
Nova
Scotia
, between 1892 and 1904. Blair’s contributions to
Mac-Talla
were extensive. In the original Gaelic, with English translations by John Alick MacPherson, Fògradh, Fàisneachd, Filidheachd / Parting, Prophesy, Poetry includes Blair’s articles about the Highland Clearances, a number of his poems, an account of a 16th-century seer who some say foretold of the Clearances and articles about Blair’s travels around the Maritimes – all published in
Mac-Talla
. Although some of Blair’s poems have been included in various collections, his prose writings have not previously been published."--CBUP.
