Glencoe is a 1947 narrative poem by Douglas Stewart about the Massacre of Glencoe. In sixteen parts, it ranks among Stewart's best known works.[1][2]
It was published in 1948.[3]
The Sydney Morning Herald criticised some of the play's history but praised the poetry by saying "But the faults of Stewart's hit and miss history bear no relation to the quality of the poetry. The genre he has chosen is handled without blemish and the texture is even from first to last... with an elongated narrative to recount Stewart has struck gold with this manner."[4]
The poem was performed on radio by the ABC in 1948 and the BBC in 1955.[5][6]
