Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mediaeval Scottish Poetry The mediaeval poetry of Scotland, equally with the earliest Scottish poetry, has hitherto been all but inaccessible to the general reader. The difficulties in the way of anything like a popular study of poets such as James I., Henryson, Dunbar, and Douglas may be gathered from the fact that the works of these four, when found, are scarcely to be had together for a smaller sum than five guineas. The present volume is an attempt to overcome these difficulties, and to render available the flower of mediaeval Scottish poetry. In all cases, excepting the more voluminous works of Gavin Douglas, the poems included are printed complete.
