Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book of the 18th century presents a blend of over one hundred and fifty poems on the themes of love, debauchery, and nature, with a focus on historic Scottish topics and imagery. The author provides socio-cultural commentary and satire on human nature through the poems, particularly targeting the vanity and shallowness of humanity. Through the three main cantos of Christ's Kirk on the Green, the author gives a humorous depiction of a local wedding reception, ridiculing the lustful behavior of the guests, particularly the elderly women. The rural setting and the crudeness of the characters provide a backdrop for the author's criticism of vanity, greed, and excessive materialism. The collection also includes various forms of poetry such as love songs and drinking songs, and offers a glimpse into the lifestyle and preoccupations of 18th-century Scottish society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780259523451_0
