Beskrivelse af Mediaeval Scottish Poetry
Mediaeval Scottish Poetry: King James The First, Robert Henryson, William Dunbar, Gavin Douglas is a book written by George Eyre-Todd that explores the works of four prominent Scottish poets from the medieval period. The book contains a collection of poems written by King James I, Robert Henryson, William Dunbar, and Gavin Douglas, along with detailed analyses and historical context. The first section of the book focuses on King James I, who was not only a poet but also a king who ruled Scotland in the early 15th century. His works include The Kingis Quair, a poem that tells the story of his imprisonment and eventual release, as well as several shorter poems. The second section delves into the works of Robert Henryson, a poet who lived in the late 15th century. His most famous work is The Testament of Cresseid, a continuation of Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde, which tells the tragic story of a woman who is abandoned by her lover. The third section of the book explores the works of William Dunbar, a poet who lived in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. Dunbar's poetry is known for its humor and satire, and he often wrote about the social and political issues of his time. The final section of the book focuses on Gavin Douglas, a poet who lived in the early 16th century. He is best known for his translation of Virgil's Aeneid into Scots, which was the first complete translation of the epic poem into any language other than Latin. Throughout the book, Eyre-Todd provides detailed analyses of the poems and their historical context, making it an excellent resource for anyone interested in medieval Scottish poetry or Scottish literature in general.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
