Ballad Repertoire of Anna Gordon, Mrs Brown of Falkland
AvSigrid Rieuwerts,Sigrid Rieuwerts
Inbunden, Engelska, 2011
755 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Edition of an important collection of ballads, taken down in the eighteenth century from a female singer.It is generally acknowledged that no Scottish ballads are superior in kind to those recited by Mrs Brown of Falkland (1747-1810). Her ballads date from an earlier age and contain the themes and motifs of medieval romance and folktale, a world full of kings and queens, knights and ladies, love and betrayal and encounters with the otherworld. They are entirely from an oral tradition, passed down a female line of transmission from her mother, grandmother andaunts; they thus provide a unique glimpse into the collective memory of Scotland in the age of enlightenment.This edition presents Mrs Brown's collection entirely in the order in which she preserved it, prior to the intervention of (male) ballad collectors such as Walter Scott, Robert Jamieson and `Monk' Lewis. It provides the texts of all Mrs Brown's manuscripts; where a ballad is recorded in more than one version, it presents the different recensions in facing page format, enabling an easy comparison. Music from the original manuscripts is also given in modern notation. A full introduction and notes complete the volume.Professor Sigrid Rieuwerts teaches at SiegenUniversity.

Older Scots: A Linguistic Reader
AvJeremy J Smith
Häftad, Engelska, 2012
333 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
A full introduction to Older Scots language and literature, with a wide selection of copiously annotated texts from the period.This book enables both students and more advanced scholars to develop a comprehensive understanding of Older Scots, the form of Scots which survives in records up to around 1700. It provides the means of understanding the language's essential characteristics, and enables readers to engage with the fascinating textual and linguistic problems which it presents. The volume contains an extensive set of annotated texts from the period, inviting closer engagement with the detail of the language, which are preceded by a comprehensive introduction to and discussion of the subject; it also looks at the linguistic detail (in the broadest sense) of the reception and afterlife of medieval andearly modern Scottish texts. Those interested in literary form in Older Scottish literature will find it a "kit" for stylistic analysis; book historians will appreciate the detailed studies of processes of production and reception, and be reminded of the importance of integrating disciplines such as textual criticism, codicology, paleography and philology; and for linguists, there is access to an unrivalled body of up-to-date textual information, previously hard to find in a single place.Jeremy J. Smith is Professor of English Philology, University of Glasgow.

The Phanaticks
AvArchibald Pitcairne,John MacQueenm. fl.
Inbunden, Engelska, 2012
507 kr
Skickas inom 7-10 vardagar
First modern edition of a highly provocative Scottish drama.Written at the very end of the seventeenth century, The Phanaticks (previously known as The Assembly) satirises in dramatic form contemporary political and religious affairs, presenting some well-known figures in thethinnest of disguises. Overtly a comedy about two young women opposed by such forces as the Governer of Edinburgh Castle (Lord Huffy), it is an excoriating attack on the hypocrisy and political chicanery of Scottish religious sects, alongside its romance and sexual innuendo. The author, Archibald Pitcairne, was a celebrated physician and wit; this work demonstrates his talent for controversy (he was ejected from the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, an institution which he helped to found, after a dispute about his theoretical approaches to medicine). Indeed, so provocative was it deemed that despite being printed in 1722 and 1752, there is no record of any contemporary performance.This first modern edition is based on an early manuscript, with corrections possibly in Pitcairne's own hand; it is presented with full contextual and historical notes.John MacQueen is Emeritus Professor of English, University of Edinburgh.

Shorter Scottish Medieval Romances
Florimond of Albany, Sir Colling the Knycht, King Orphius, Roswall and Lillian
AvRhiannon Purdie
Inbunden, Engelska, 2013
600 kr
Skickas inom 7-10 vardagar
First modern edition of four romances from the medieval Scottish tradition.The four romances in this collection have been unjustly neglected. Indeed, Florimond, King Orphius and Sir Colling were entirely unknown to modern audiences - despite some late-medieval references to the first two -until fragmentary copies were unearthed in the National Archives of Scotland in the 1970s: all three are researched and fully edited for the first time here. King Orphius, closely and significantly related to the famous Middle English romance Sir Orfeo, is supplemented here with the Laing fragment discovered by the present editor in 2010. Roswall and Lillian survives in later prints and was a favourite text of Sir Walter Scott's - he owned at least three copies of it - but it has not been edited since the nineteenth century. Each text is supplied with comprehensive explanatory notes and an introduction, including full discussion of extant witnesses and circulation history; linguistic and other evidence for date and provenance; literary context; analogues and influences. There is a combined glossary, and an Appendix presents the text of the English Percy Folio ballad "Sir Cawline" as derived from the Scots Sir Colling.Dr Rhiannon Purdie is Senior Lecturer in Medieval English, University of St Andrews.

The Taill of Rauf Coilyear
AvRalph Hanna
Inbunden, Engelska, 2019
600 kr
Skickas inom 7-10 vardagar
First edition of a lively medieval romance.The author of the fifteenth-century Older Scots romance of Rauf Coilyear may be unknown, but the popularity of this comic king-in-disguise tale is undisputed; it is cited by William Dunbar and Gavin Douglas at the turn of the century, and again in the mid-sixteenth century Complaynt of Scotland. The disguised king in this case is Charlemagne, and the hero a bluff collier called Ralph, who unwittingly plays host to him for one stormy night and teaches his bemused guest some rough lessons in his own version of courtesy. When Ralph is lured to court, the mistaken identities continue as he encounters the great Sir Roland and battles Saracens. Throughout, the scrappy hero maintains his dignity, as indeed does his king: both parties finish the tale immensely pleased with each other and with the bond they have forged.The text survives only in a 1572 print by Robert Lekpreuik (whose own career seems tohave been only marginally less exciting than Rauf's: he printed it in St Andrews while attempting to evade imprisonment in Edinburgh, ultimately without success). It is edited here with an introduction and notes.RALPHHANNA is Emeritus Professor of Palaeography, University of Oxford.

Duncane Laideus Testament and other Comic Poems in Older Scots
AvJanet Hadley Williams
Inbunden, Engelska, 2016
600 kr
Skickas inom 7-10 vardagar
First modern scholarly edition of a number of late medieval Scottish poems, in the comic tradition.This volume contains eleven Scottish examples of particular kinds of humorous writing - comic, parodic, and satiric - of the late fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Previously unavailable in modern scholarly editions, these worksare freshly established from diverse sources, including the manuscript that is the earliest extant of John Knox's "Historie of the Reformatioun of Religioun". A manuscript owned by the Campbell of Glenorchy family is the source ofthe volume's most substantial work, Duncane Laideus Testament; the poem's bicultural outlook provides an important reference point for historians, as well as scholars of early Scottish and Gaelic literature. Other texts include David Lyndsay's The Complaint of Bagsche and the anonymous "My gudame wes a gay wif".To assist study of the development of early Scottish writing, and to chart historical, especially religious, change, the poems are arranged in their probable order of composition. Each is introduced separately, with consideration of witnesses; evidence for date of composition and authorship; title, metre, and genre; and full apparatus. Explanatory notesexamine matters of interest or potential difficulty, including the sense of contemporary expressions, wordplay, legal and Latin terms, and debts to earlier writers.The volume also includes a full Bibliography, Glossary, and Indexof Names and Places.Dr Janet Hadley Williams is Honorary Visiting Fellow, School of Literature, Languages, and Linguistics, College of Arts and Social Sciences, The Australian National University.

Maitland Quarto
A New Edition of Cambridge, Magdalene College, Pepys Library MS 1408
AvJoanna M. Martin
Inbunden, Engelska, 2015
600 kr
Skickas inom 7-10 vardagar
New edition of one of the most important collections of sixteenth-century Scots poetry.The Maitland Quarto Manuscript was compiled in c.1586 in the circle of the Maitland Family of Lethington, East Lothian. It is a highly significant and rich collection of Older Scots poetry. It contains the most complete collectionof the poems of Sir Richard Maitland, judge, privy counsellor, and Keeper of the Great Seal of Scotland under Mary Queen of Scots, together with poems attributed to Maitland's heir, John Maitland of Thirlestane, Chancellor to James VI, and to leading writers and intellectuals, including the king himself, Alexander Montgomerie, and Alexander Arbuthnot. It attests to new developments in Scottish literature in the late sixteenth century by including many unique examples of Calvinist lyric, the earliest known British Country House poem, and Sapphic verse, as well as poems influenced by Italian and French sources. It also provides evidence for the role of women in the composition, collection and copying of Older Scots verse.This critical edition offers fresh access to the fascinating contents of this important manuscript. It provides an authoritative text, with full modern annotation and glossary. Itsintroduction and notes address the textual transmission of the poems, and offer detailed contextualization of them in both historical and literary terms.Joanna Martin is Lecturer in Middle English at the University ofNottingham.

Gude and Godlie Ballatis
AvAlasdair A. MacDonald
Inbunden, Engelska, 2015
600 kr
Skickas inom 7-10 vardagar
New edition of a collection of songs and ballads from sixteenth-century Scotland, shedding important new light on the English and Scottish Reformation.The Gude and Godlie Ballatis is a collection of religious lyrics from the early years of the Scottish Reformation. It was a highly popular, if controversial, volume, was often reprinted, and is considered one of the most important literary works of vernacular Scots from the period. It contains translations of a number of Psalms, but most of the contents consist of shorter songs and ballads, many of which have been adapted from a secular to a spiritual use.The previous edition of the collection dates from 1897. The new edition not only revises the information given there, but presents the text of the earliest print (1565), which was unknown to the previous editor. The textual development of the collection through the various printings is studied, and is related to the changing historical, political, literary, cultural and theological contexts of Reformation Scotland. The editor addresses questions of authorship, transmission, source material, and the use and significance of these lyrics. Drawing on recent work in book history and English psalmody, as well as a deep knowledge of Older Scots lyric, he demonstrates the close connections between the collection and Continental hymnody, as well as interactions with English and Scots lyric, both sacred and profane.Alasdair A. MacDonald is Professor Emeritus of English Language and Literatureof the Middle Ages, University of Groningen.

Second volume of a major new edition of Douglas's Eneados, containing a substantially revised and corrected text of Books I-VII plus appendix of textual variants.Although Virgil's Aeneid was one of the most widely admired works of the European Middle Ages, the first complete translation to appear in any form of English was Gavin Douglas's magisterial verse rendering into Older Scots, completed in 1513, which he called the "Eneados".

The first volume contains the introduction and commentary. offereing a wealth of new scholarship on the Eneados ,including a comparison of Douglas's text to his exact Latin source, detailed analyses of the manuscript and print witnesses and the Eneados's early reception and circulation, and a critical survey of modern Douglas criticism.

Textual and Bibliographical Studies in Older Scots Literature
Selected Essays of Priscilla Bawcutt
AvJanet Hadley Williams
Häftad, Engelska, 2022
341 kr
Skickas inom 7-10 vardagar
Seminal investigations into the most important aspects of medieval Scots texts, with a particular focus on editing and manuscript context.This rich selection from the writings of Priscilla Bawcutt, the major scholar of Older Scots literature, both honours her achievement and provides authoritative guidance to all involved in the pleasures and challenges of medieval and early modern Scottish studies.The first five chapters, including a hitherto unpublished paper, gather her insights into how to examine, contextualize, and edit early poetic texts. Among her discussions are those on the importance of explanatory notes, the usefulness of fragments, the demands of transcription, and the need for objectivity when identifying supposed influences, date, or author. Bawcutt draws on a variety of texts, including Dunbar's "elrich fantasyis", Rolland's Court of Venus, and metrical Scottish charms to illustrate these aspects of editing. Two central chapters then give balance and coherence to the complex evidence of change in literary activities and tastes in early Scotland. First, an analytical survey of manuscript miscellanies, noting their diversity in size, condition, arrangement, copyists, owners, and purposes, offers many different ways to approach these compilations. Secondly, Bawcutt's study of one particular miscellany, the great five-part Bannatyne Manuscript, provides new information on the sources and authors of the many texts it contains and the diversity of their literary and cultural connections. Five further chapters combine textual and bibliographical studies with contextual explorations, into personal libraries, habits of reading, annotators, and book circulation within family groups, across borders, or over time. Among these illuminating essays are those on Gavin Douglas's imaginary library, and the influential first printed edition of his Eneados, both of increasing interest alongside the new edition of his translation.A full bibliography of Priscilla Bawcutt's publications is also included.
Hary’s Wallace
(Vita Nobilissimi Defensoris Scotie Wilelmi Wallace Militis)
AvMatthew P, McDiarmid,Matthew P. McDiarmidm. fl.
Inbunden, Engelska, 2023
2 128 kr
Skickas inom 7-10 vardagar
Hary's Wallace is a late fifteenth-century poem in twelve books, recounting the deeds of William Wallace, a leader of the Scots in the First War of Independence. It is an extraordinary and sophisticated piece of work which creates scenes of immense sensual and symbolic intensity to underpin a narrative of Wallace's heroism in the face of struggle, disloyalty and betrayal. Hary draws on other Scottish material, particularly John Barbour's Bruce and Walter Bower's Scotichronicon, to structure his hero's activities, and he uses Chaucerian forms, including the five-stress couplet, to enrich his account and appeal to his contemporary audience. While the poem is best known as the ultimate source for the 1995 film Braveheart, it offers a richer and more complex version of Wallace's career and his contribution to the First War of Independence.This edition, by Matthew P. McDiarmid, now reissued by the Scottish Text Society after several years out of print, is the standard scholarly edition of the poem, and provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction, notes and glossary.
Barbour’s Bruce
A! Fredome is a noble thing!
AvJohn Barbour,Matthew P. McDiarmidm. fl.
Inbunden, Engelska, 2023
2 128 kr
Skickas inom 7-10 vardagar
Barbour's Bruce (c. 1375) is the oldest substantial piece of literature in Older Scots. It narrates in four-stress couplets the feats of Robert Bruce and his supporters, most notably James Douglas and Thomas Randolph. Their heroic activities, including battles against odds and clever out-manoeuvrings as well as open warfare, provide opportunities for discussion of good leadership, the celebration of freedom, and a construction of Scottishness alongside a narrative with enough verifiable historical detail to make it compelling and convincing. Barbour's narrative implicitly locates Bruce and Douglas against European traditions of the Nine Worthies, particularly Alexander, and shows a sophisticated sense of structure in the central placing of Bannockburn and Bruce's speech on freedom. This edition by McDiarmid and Stevenson, out of print for several years, is now reissued by the Scottish Text Society. In addition to the text, it provides a full introduction, notes and a glossary.

This edition of a seventeenth-century Scottish poem gives modern audiences insight into the ways previous generations perceived and engaged with local nature and architecture.Henry Adamson's "The Muses Threnodie" (1638) offers insights into the lives, amusements and anxieties of of the residents of the town of Perth. In it, two of Perth's citizens venture out on foot and by boat into the vicinity of their cramped, closely overseen town. In whimsically funny conversations, they observe local natural phenomena and landmarks while discussing the buried, ruined evidence of the region's architectural history. Their perceptions of waterways and landforms highlight their sometimes conflicted understanding of historical change at Perth on the eve of the Scottish National Covenant. The beguilingly inglorious verse in which Henry Adamson clothes his characters' sentiments serves as the outermost layer of several stylistic misdirections, as if to distract official attention from any dangerous contemporary criticism within.

This is an edition of the complete shorter poetic works of John Bellenden and William Stewart, writers who flourished during the reign of James V of Scots.The poems of William Stewart and John Bellenden belong to the rich body of writing composed in early sixteenth-century Scotland during the reign of James V (1513-1542). Here, gathered for the first time, are all of the two writers' shorter works - flyting, carol, debate, dream vision, chanson d'aventure, princely advice, love lyric and meditation - together providing greater definition to a period that in literary matters often is seen solely through the preceding inventive works of William Dunbar, and the allusive ones of Gavin Douglas. The value of this complete collection is extended, so that the entire reign is covered, by the addition of seven poems by their contemporaries, Alexander Kyd, Robert Gray, Thomas Davidson, David Lyndsay, and three poets now unknown. This edition provides much new scholarship: a three-part Introduction containing an essay on the literary milieu, author biographies, and witness descriptions; Texts freshly edited from the early manuscripts and prints, with on-page textual apparatus and appended textual and explanatory notes; a Bibliography; an Index of names and places, and a full Glossary.
