More about the book

Scottish poetry dates back to the middle ages. Its characteristic marks are energy, wit, satire and-especially in Gaelic - passionate lyrical intensity. Most readers of English poetry are familiar with Irish writing in English, less so with Scots. This volume will add a whole new dimension to their experience of the unparalleled heritage of great poetry produced in these islands. The collection contains all the poets everyone has heard of - Burns, Stevenson, MacDiarmid,Henryson, Scott, Drummond of Hawthornden - and many more beside, including writers from the current renaissance in Scottish poetry.
