Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a historically significant and intriguing collection of previously unpublished poems from the late 16th century, attributed to the prolific yet enigmatic poet Robert Sempill. It provides a unique glimpse into a tumultuous period of Scottish history, the regency of the Earl of Moray following the abdication of Mary, Queen of Scots. These poems, known as 'Ballads of Public Affairs,' offer a remarkable insight into the political and religious tensions of the period, expressing both reverence for the Scottish monarchy and strong support for the Protestant Reformation. The author's powerful, often scathing criticisms of the ruling elite reveal the widespread anger and despair felt by ordinary Scots during a time of great upheaval. This book is not merely a collection of historical documents; it also sheds light on the literary culture of the 16th century, showcasing the skill and versatility of a master poet whose work is finally being made available to modern readers. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
