Looking at late medieval Scottish poetic narratives which
incorporate exploration of the amorousness of kings, this study
places these poems in the context of Scotland's repeated experience
of minority kings and a consequent instability in governance. The
focus of this study is the presence of amatory discourses in poetry
of a political or advisory nature, written in Scotland between the
early fifteenth and the mid-sixteenth century. Joanna Martin offers
new readings of the works of major figures in the Scottish
literature of the period, including Robert Henryson, William
Dunbar, and Sir David Lyndsay. At the same time, she provides new
perspectives on anonymous texts, among them The Thre Prestis of
Peblis and King Hart, and on the works of less well known writers
such as John Bellenden and William Stewart, which are crucial to
our understanding of the literary culture north of the Border
during the period under discussion.
