The poetry of six of the best-known Scots poets of the sixteenth century: Sir David Lyndsay, John Bellenden, King James the Fifth, Sir Richard Maitland, Alexander Scot and Alexander Montgomerie.
The book begins by laying out a general historical and social background. Biographical notes accompany each writer's works, and obscure words or phrases are clarified a running glossary — original printed as marginal notes, these have been placed between verses in this Kindle edition.
Initially published in 1892, as part of the Abbotsford Series of the Scottish poets, and produced for Kindle in 2013, this edition has now been thoroughly revised to give a better layout for the poems and to correct some typographical errors.
