This series is intended to reproduce in popular form the best Works of the Scottish Poets, from the earliest times onwards; and it is hoped within a moderate number of volumes to furnish a comprehensive library of the Poetry of Scotland.
No liberties whatever are taken with the texts, which are edited from the best editions, and furnished with necessary introductions and glossaries.
The first three volumes of the series are now ready:—
EARLY SCOTTISH POETRY: Thomas the Rhymer, John Barbour, Androw of Wyntoun, and Henry the Minstrel.
MEDIÆVAL SCOTTISH POETRY: James I. of Scotland, Robert Henryson, William Dunbar, and Gavin Douglas.
SCOTTISH POETRY OF THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY: Sir David Lyndsay, John Bellenden, James V., Sir Richard Maitland, Alexander Scot, and Alexander Montgomerie.
The following volume is in preparation:—
SCOTTISH BALLAD POETRY: The best historical, legendary, and imaginative ballads of Scotland.
