Synopsis

A window into 16th‑century Scotland and its printed pageantry, with a scholarly look at a controversial tract.

This edition presents a historical tractate attributed to William Lauder, a Protestant minister active in Scotland during the mid‑1500s. It offers the original text alongside notes and introductory material that frame Lauder’s life, work, and the era’s religious and cultural context. The volume also traces how Lauder’s poems and related tracts were circulated, collected, and reprinted in later centuries.

Readers will encounter brief biographical sketches, discussions of the tract’s publication history, and context for the prophetic and political material that circulated in Scotland and beyond. The content is presented with attention to its age, its religious stakes, and its place in the broader constellation of early modern English and Scottish literature.

• Understand the historical setting surrounding Lauder and his writings.


• See how early modern tractates and plays were used in public life and reform.


• Explore the scholarly apparatus that accompanies the text, including introductions and notes.


• Gain insight into the tradition of prophecies and dramatic works in 16th‑century Britain.

Ideal for readers of early English and Scottish literature, religious history, and the study of historical print culture.
