Scottish Mother: GROVE, Frederick Philip (1871P-1948), Canadian author, who wrote realistic novels of pioneer life in western Canada. The son of a Swedish father and a Scottish mother, he was born in Russia while his parents were traveling there. Although the family home was in Sweden, most of his boyhood was spent traveling with his mother in western Europe. Stranded in Toronto without funds in 1892, he remained in Canada and worked as a laborer. He settled in Manitoba in 1912 and became a teacher. In 1929 he took a job as an editor in Ottawa, and later acquired a farm near Simcoe, Ontario, where he remained until his death, on Aug. 19, 1948.
Gestation takes 16 days; 7-15 in litter; young born pink, naked, and blind. Do not disturb young or mother for at least a week after birth; if disturbed mother will either kill and eat the young or neglect them and allow them to die. After 3 weeks, remove young from mother; otherwise, mother fights with them and often kills them. Sexes should be separated before young reach maturity at 43 days.
This article deals with the Anglian element of Scottish literature, composed chiefly in languages descended from the Northern dialect of Middle English (see preceding section, Languages) and emerging as Lowland Scots or Standard English, or a mixture of both. Scottish Gaelic literature is reviewed under CELTIC LITERATURES— Scottish Gaelic Literature.
