In Enlightenment Edinburgh, Allan Ramsay (c. 1684 1758) was a
foundationally important poet, dramatist, song collector, theatre
owner, cultural leader in art and music, and innovative
entrepreneur in many spheres from language to libraries. This
series, the result of an international research project, presents
Ramsay's complete works in a dependable scholarly edition for the
first time, thereby illuminating a body of work crucial in its own
right and essential to both the Scottish Enlightenment and the
Vernacular Revival associated with Fergusson, Burns and others.
Ramsay's pastoral comedy The Gentle Shepherd (1725; 1729) went
through over a hundred editions, was performed many hundreds of
times and inspired a wide range of visual representations and
critiques. Although it is one of the most important printed texts
in Scots literature, there has never been a scholarly edition which
does justice to its complicated genesis and to the music of its
many songs. This groundbreaking and definitive edition will be
welcomed by scholars, teachers and practitioners of literature,
drama and music, and opens up new avenues for research and
performance.
