- This 120,000-word work (7 chapters and a substantial Introduction and Conclusion) is one of the few monographs to assess early-modern Scottish literary culture. Its scope is extensive: evidence is drawn from over 100 manuscripts produced between 1560-1625, gathered over about 10 years of research in up to 25 libraries and archives in the UK and USA. In methodological terms, the book ranges widely across ‘places’ of cultural practice (royal courts, burghs and towns, and regional centres), and situates Older Scottish poetry first in national terms, but also more broadly within the book and literary histories of early-modern Britain.
