Synopsis

This book is the second volume of selected poems from 15th and 16th century Scotland, encompassing the early Middle Scots era and the Scottish Renaissance. Containing approximately 200 poems from the era - including both anonymous folk ballads and works from notable authors such as Robert Henryson and William Dunbar - this volume captures the variety and quality of Scots verse in the period, and continues the broad, thematic and historical scope of Volume 1. Poems cover a wide range of themes, from meditations on love and loss and the nature of God to anti-establishment satires and wry observations on court life, providing a vivid insight into how people lived in Medieval and Renaissance Scotland. A textual glossary is included to assist with unfamiliar Scots words and phrases, making this a valuable resource for those with an interest in Scottish history, language, or literature.
