The Poetry of William Dunbar : (Scotnotes Study Guides) Paperback / softback

Part of the Scotnotes Study Guides series

Paperback / softback

Description

Along with his contemporary Robert Henryson, William Dunbar is the foremost figure of Scottish medieval literature.

Writing as a court poet during the reign of James IV, Dunbar was at the intellectual heart of Scotland's Renaissance.

His poetry is among the greatest in the Scots language: sophisticated, versatile and stylish, the work of a master of considerable literary genius. Ronald Jack's SCOTNOTE study guide examines a number of Dunbar's most important works - The Thrissil and the Rois, The Lament for the Makaris, The Golden Targe, The Twa Mariit Wemen and the Wedo and others - and explains the background, history, language and influences for senior school pupils and students at all levels.
