William Dunbar (c.1460-1520) bridges the divide between medieval
bard and Renaissance poet. From the sonorous beat of the Lament for
the Makaris to the subtle satire of "The Tretis of the Tua Mariit
Wemen and the Wedo", his self-knowledge and mocking wit points to
the development of a modern artistic consciousness while his skill,
craftsmanship and sense of language still have the power to inspire
today. This book is a must-have for any serious scholar of European
Medieval and Renaissance literature. The first volume gives the
text of every Dunbar poem while the second provides a wealth of
explanatory notes and reference material, allowing each poem to be
easily studied in-depth. As well as freshly established texts of
all Dunbar's works, these two volumes contain a full introduction;
a complete listing of textual variants in all the early manuscripts
and printings; extensive notes on every poem; a glossary; and lists
of sources and secondary material. One of the editor's chief
concerns has been to elucidate not just the literal sense but also
the connotations of Dunbar's words: the figurative and metaphoric
uses, the legalisms, poetic archaisms, puns and other wordplay, as
well as the use of proverbs, scriptural allusions and debts or
affinity to earlier poets. This has taken her into many varied and
unexpected areas of medieval life and thought in assembling her
line-by-line commentary on every poem in the edition. Readers will
find new information about obscure words and phrases and no
difficult passage is passed over silently. These volumes are a
tribute not only to the wonderful poet whose works they contain but
also to the industry, erudition and acumen of his latest editor.

growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:

in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Western literary
