Scottish poet William Dunbar is usually considered one of the most
important figures of fifteenth-century British literature, and may
lay claim to being the finest lyric poet writing in English in the
century and half between the death of Chaucer in 1400 and the
appearance of Tottel's Miscellany in 1557. Dunbar's poems offer
vivid depictions of late medieval Scottish society and serve up a
striking pageant of colorful figures at the court of James IV (r.
1488-1513), with which he was associated for much of his adult
life. The poems are remarkable both for their diversity and
variability and for their multiplicity of voices, styles, and
tones. The great variety of poems within Dunbar's canon includes
religious hymns of exaltation, moral poems on a wide range of
serious themes, comic and parodic poems of extreme salaciousness
and scatological coarseness, general satires against the times, and
satires with much more specific targets, often a single individual.
This edition of eighty-four poems attributed to Dunbar includes
extensive background material and explanatory notes that are sure
to be of interest to students and Dunbar enthusiasts alike. The
edition is rounded out with textual notes, an index of first lines,
and a glossary.
