Literary fitba: there’s a football team named after a Walter Scott novel, but John Galt had one named after him… ⚽

(strictly speaking they were named after a town in Ontario that was named after John Galt, but still… & they won gold 🏅 at the 1904 #Olympics)

“In short, not to lengthen my story into tediousness, bribery & corruption was clearly proven; & Mr Gabblon, as I have already stated, was set aside; for he was not cunning enough, in a parliamentary sense, to be honest…”

“[Galt’s] realism is hard-headed, his compassion is tough-minded, his humour contagious but tainted with the sense that chaos and catastrophe are never far away.”

—Prof Alan Riach on the fiction of John Galt

“I was in love with the book. In pure, ignorant defiance of the decree of the Iowa Writing School that controls almost all modern fiction, Galt tells without showing.”

Tae the Lords o’ Juteopolis the weavers hae spoke
“If ye rug doon oor wages, as sure as the cleck
We’ll fling up the shuttle; we’ll sune lat ye pree
The pluck o’ the lasses o’ Bonnie Dundee.”

75. ‘Ane Strik(eing) Ballant’, Air – ”Bonnie Dundee”, by Mistress Lapstane, 12 August 1875. Published 28 August 1875.

Tae the Lords o’ Juteopolis the weavers hae spoke –
”If ye rug doon oor wages, as sure as the cleck
We’ll fling up the shuttle; we’ll sune lat ye pree
The pluck o’ the lasses o’ Bonnie Dundee.”

Chorus – Then hurrah for the lasses, sae dauntless an’ fair,
Let them stand by their colours, an’ tyranny dare;
While there’s hearts that can feel, an’ hands gleg tae gie,
Nae fear o’ starvation tae Bonnie Dundee.

The lasses hae struck, they march up the street;
They cry, ”We’ll ne’er yield while there’s shune on oor feet;”
An’ ilka douce neebour says, ”E’en lat it be –
There’s room for improvements in Bonnie Dundee.”

Chorus – Then hurrah for the lasses, &c.

There are weavers in Forfar an’ weavers in Perth,
There are weavers in Belfast an’ ilk ither airth;
An’ the cry frae ilk point is, ”We’re willin’ tae gie;”
An’ subscriptions are hurlin’ tae Bonnie Dundee.

Chorus – Then hurrah for the lasses, &c.

Noo, defy ilka bribe, though the shuttles sud rust –
Be ruled by your leaders, they’re worthy o’ trust;
I’m nae sworn prophet, but bide ye awee,
An’ ye’ll get a’ ye’re wantin’ in Bonnie Dundee.

Chorus – Then hurrah for the lasses, sae dauntless an’ fair,
An’ three cheers for the strike that’ll sune be nae mair;
Sin’ there’s hearts that can feel, an’ hands gleg tae gie,
Nae fear o’ the weavers o’ Bonnie Dundee.
