“However harmful the kailyard tradition was to Scottish literature and the perception of Scotland, it invariably portrayed village or small town life in Scotland as harmonious and not umpleasant. At the beginning of the twentieth century, an anti-kailyard tradition of Scottish literature developed, most markedly represented by two novels: George Douglas Brown, 'The House with the Green Shutters (1901), and John MacDougall Hay, Gillespie (1914). Both were based on the authors' own experience of Scottish villages (Ochiltree and Tarbert respectively). Both display the unsavoury and tragic side of parochial life.
Could we view The Little White Town of Never Weary as a sort of riposte to this tradition? It certainly emphasises the more idyllic traditional life of rural market town and burgh.”

“The leading authorities on the subject of revolutionary upheavals recognize three essentials for a revolution — using the word in its historical sense and not in its popular sense of “a Red plot”:
a revolutionary situation, a revolutionary leadership, and a revolutionary act,
a triple necessity admirably illustrated by the Leninist revolution in Russia in 1917, so
admirably indeed that to the very great detriment of the revolutionary cause the brilliant
opportunism which took full advantage of special, circumstances has been stereotyped
into a formula which is at once a recipe for and a test of revolution.”
