This year's Canna Lecture will be delivered by Dr Priscilla Scott who will speak on the praise songs of Màiri Mhòr nan Òran / Mary MacPherson (1821-1898), the well-known Skye poet whose work was edited for the SGTS by Professor Donald Meek in his 1998 edition. In the songs of the Skye poet, Mary MacPherson (Màiri Mhòr nan Òran), praise of place, people and community frequently combine with the narrative of her own personal story. This lecture will discuss a selection of her songs composed in praise of patrons, public figures, and personal friends, exploring the interaction of the private self and the public poet in the different perspectives the songs present. About the speaker Dr Priscilla Scott is a graduate of the University of Edinburgh, and an expert on the Gaelic literature of the nineteenth century, particularly the role of women in Gaelic literary history.
