This book explores the unedited material contained in the
Hawthornden manuscripts of William Fowler, a Scottish poet attached
to the court of Queen Anna of Denmark between 1590 and 1612. The
material is representative of Fowler's ephemeral and occasional
production, largely unknown to modern scholars. Through the lenses
of the Hawthornden fragments, this book engages in the exploration
of one of the "cultural places of the European Renaissance",
represented by the extensive use of emblems and other literary
devices, and by the use of manuscript copies to circulate them. The
discourse mainly focuses on the Jacobean courtly establishment in
the first decade of the seventeenth century, from the point of view
of a Scottish insider. By focusing on the intellectual makeup of
the court in the newly united Great Britain, this work aims at
bridging manuscript scholarship and literary studies with a wider
perspective on contemporary society, politics and culture.
