Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This remarkable book is a comprehensive historical survey on one of Scotland's most renowned yet enigmatic literary figures, William Dunbar. The author presents an unprecedented study of the author's life and works through meticulous research of early sources. From the clues found in Dunbar's poems, which are full of revealing asides about his life, the author paints a vivid portrait of the man. The author traces Dunbar's career from his early days as a friar to his ultimate appointment as a royal poet at the court of King James IV of Scotland. The main subject of the book, Dunbar, is positioned within the broader context of late medieval Scottish history and literature, with connections drawn between his work and leading Renaissance figures like Chaucer, Gower, and Lydgate. The work explores the significant themes found throughout Dunbar's work, from social critique to his poetic reflections on life. The author examines the poems to reveal a complex man whose work was shaped by his experiences and observations, providing fresh insights into the political, social, and cultural landscape of Scotland during the reign of James IV.
