Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of Scottish poetry during the sixteenth century. Drawing on a voluminous collection of poems compiled by Ballantine in 1568, the author offers a selection of previously unpublished pieces, presenting them in their original form without modernizing the language or spelling. The collection stands in contrast to the earlier *Evergreen*, a similar anthology, which the author criticizes for its inclusion of indecent and unintelligible poems, as well as its modernization of the original text. The author argues that the Evergreen's alterations obscure the true nature of the language and poetry of the time. The book's focus is on illuminating the state of language and poetry in Scotland, alongside the manners and history of the era. Readers will encounter poems dealing with themes of love, nature, and political satire, as well as poems that offer a humorous take on the lives and beliefs of the time. The author highlights the distinct characteristics of the Scots language, arguing that a deeper understanding of the vernacular is crucial for appreciating the beauty and richness of this period's poetry. The book stands as a vital resource for those interested in Scottish literature and culture, offering a window into a unique and vibrant era. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
