Educated in Scotland and France, George Buchanan became one of the
most influential writers of 16th century Europe. Writing in the
lingua franca of his time - Classical Latin - he was to be hailed
internationally as 'easily the prince of poets'. Here fifteen
scholars, from many countries, analyse his writings, his creative
use of ancient texts for contemporary purposes, and his impact on
the culture of Scotland and of Europe - not least in the spheres of
tragedy and music. Contents: Buchanan's poetic achievement (Philip
Ford); 'Redundant' epithets in Buchanan's Pastorals (Robert
Cummings); Literary metamorphosis in Buchanan's De Sphaera (Emma
Gee); The writing of memory in George Buchanan's Iusta (Nathalie
Catellani-Dufrene); Homo exsul as the lyric persona in Buchanan's
Psalms (Elwira Buszewicz); The Heavens are Telling: a
Psalm-paraphrase-poem analysed (Roger Green); The historical
importance of Jean Servin's settings of Buchanan's Psalm
Paraphrases (James Porter); Buchanan's Psalms and the musical
settings by Statius Olthof (Margaret Duncumb); Buchanan's tragedies
and contemporary dramatic theory (Giacomo Cardinali); Biblical
inspiration in Buchanan's tragedies (Carine Ferradou); Buchanan and
the poetics of borrowing in the Latin translation of Euripides'
Medea (Jean-Frederic Chevalier); 'Translating' Buchanan (Ronnie
Jack); Drama out of the 'closet': Buchanan on stage (Jamie Reid
Baxter); 'Return, Buchanan!' The Letter of Walter Dennistoun to
George Buchanan and Buchanan's Reply (Jack MacQueen); Dry Bones of
Contention? Picking apart Buchanan's Psalms (Roger Green); George
Buchanan's Half Millennium; (Robert Crawford).
