A full survey and overview of the extraordinary flowering of
Scottish poetry in the middle ages. The poetry written in Scotland
between the late fourteenth and the early years of the sixteenth
century is exceptionally rich and varied. The contributions
collected here, by leading specialists in the field, provide a
comprehensive and up-to-date guide to the material. There are
introductions to the literary culture of late medieval Scotland and
its historical context; separate studies of the writings of James
I, Robert Henryson, William Dunbar, Gavin Douglas, and Sir David
Lyndsay; and essays devoted to general themes or genres, including
the historiographical tradition, religious verse, romances, and the
legendary history of Alexander the Great. A final chapter provides
bibliographical guidance on the major advances in the criticism and
scholarly study of this poetry during the last thirty years.
