Synopsis

Yarrow: Its Poets and Poetry is a book written by R. Borland that explores the history and significance of the Yarrow Valley in Scotland through the lens of poetry. The book features a collection of poems written by various poets who have been inspired by the beauty and mystique of the Yarrow Valley, including William Wordsworth, Sir Walter Scott, and Robert Burns. In addition to the poetry, the book also provides historical context and background information on the Yarrow Valley, including its geography, flora and fauna, and cultural significance. The book is a celebration of the natural beauty and cultural richness of the Yarrow Valley, and a testament to the enduring power of poetry to capture and convey the essence of a place.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Yarrow has inspired, and to give such brief biographical sketches of the various poets as may prove either interesting or instructive to the general reader. The task of making a judicious selection from the mass of material which lay ready to hand was none of the easiest, as Yarrow, for many generations, has been a favourite theme of the votaries of the Muse. The poems here published may be regarded as fairly representative of the poetical literature of the valley. Many of them have attained an almost world-wide celebrity; others of them, perhaps, derive their chief interest from local or historical associations, and a number of them are now printed for the first time. I have endeavoured to give the various ballads and poems, as nearly as possible, in the form in which I have found them, either in the works of their respective authors, or as printed in the newspapers and magazines in which they were originally published. This accounts for a certain variety of spelling which the eager eye of the critic will be sure to detect.
