Choice Collection of Comic and Serious Scots Poems (Classic Reprint): The Three Parts, 1706, 1709, 1711 in One Volume - Couverture souple
Synopsis
The vivid world of 18th‑century Scots verse, mixing sharp satire with sincere feeling.
This historical anthology gathers the comic and serious Scots poems from three early 1700s parts into one volume. It offers a window into the verse and voice of its time, with lively caricatures, bold imagery, and playful, rhythmic language that swings between wit and weight.
Readers will encounter long catalogues of creatures and scenes, dramatic monologues, and vivid depictions that blend humor with moral or social observation. The collection showcases how poets used lively dialect, dramatic figures, and fantastical elements to entertain, critique, and praise.
- Sharp, satirical portraits and lively verse that bite as they amuse
- Rich, archaic Scots language rendered in readable modern presentation
- A mix of comic antics, serious reflections, and mythic or folkloric imagery
Ideal for readers of Scottish literary history, poetry lovers, and those who enjoy period verse with character and charm.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This 1711 anthology preserves several scarce and fugitive pieces from the dawn of Scottish verse. It marks a literary era wherein, after James VI's accession to the English throne, strictly Scottish verse gave way to the more polished language of the South. The author, editor, and publisher, James Watson, was a key player in this revival of the Scots dialect. The volume includes a notable collection of comic and serious poems by various hands, including Robert Sempill, the author of the famous "The Banishment of Poverty." These sung and spoken poems, ballads, and humorous anecdotes provide a fascinating glimpse into the literary and social landscape of 17th-century Scotland, capturing the wit, humor, and everyday lives of the people. 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 9781331264316_0
