title = "Kenning what he meant: MacDiarmid afore he deed",
abstract = "One of the most enigmatic aspects of MacDiarmid – the exemplary anti-syzygyial man – is MacDiarmid{\textquoteright}s Mature Art, both in terms of his later, vast project of that title, and, too, how this work sits in terms of his career-long development. This chapter attempts to start making some sense of MacDiarmid{\textquoteright}s {\textquoteleft}Mature Art{\textquoteright} from the works scattered across his later publications, as well as the National Library of Scotland{\textquoteright}s archives, considering not only what re-attaching its separable sections reveals about MacDiarmid, but also how MacDiarmid{\textquoteright}s mature art challenges and urges a redefinition of the phenomenon of {\textquoteleft}Late Style{\textquoteright}.",
