This bibliography was planned with the object of ex- hibiting the varying attitude of scholars and others to- wards Scottish poets of the sixteenth and earlier centuries. It is not bibliography for bibliography’s sake ; and for that and other reasons does not offer bibliographers all that they will look for. Editions not seen are marked with an asterisk. When short titles are given, to avoid repetition, there should seldom be difficulty in judging where in the volume the full title is most likely to occur. Thanks are due to the Carnegie Trust, though its guar- antee against loss by publication has become unnecessary ; to Professor Gregory Smith, who suggested the under- taking ; to Mr J. A. Fairley and the Rev. J. F. Miller for information ; and to Mr Oliphant Smeaton for help of all kinds and at all stages. CONTENTS PAGE INTRODUCTION ...... vii GENERAL WORKS COLLECTIONS OF POETRY ....

I. Early Notices. (a) The Conditions. When the older Scottish poets began, about the beginning of the eighteenth century, to emerge from the oblivion of the seventeenth, it was inevitable that men should wish to know something of their lives, and of their reputation among contemporaries. Of biography in the modern sense, however, the old literature had virtually none, and its criticism was rudimentary. The scholars of the Scottish Revival had to construct the poets’ lives for themselves. Henrie Charteris, in the address “ Unto the Godlie and Christiane Reidar,” prefixed to his editions of Lyndsay’s Works from 1568 onwards, says, “ It is the commoun and accustomit maner (gentill Reidar) of all them quhilk dois pro- hemiate upon ony uther menis wark, cheiflie to travel about two pointis. The ane is, to declair the properteis of the Authour, nocht onlie externall, as his originall, birth, vocatioun, estait, strenth, giftis of the bodie, substance, and maner of leving: bot alswa internall: as the qualiteis, habites, and dispositiones of the mynde, Vlll INTRODUCTION. his ingyne, knawledge, wisdome, giftis of the Spirit, and all uther vertewis quhilk culd justlie be knawin to have bene in him.” Unfortunately the Scottish poets were not accustomed to have anybody prohemiate upon them until long after their own day. Barbour and Blind Harry, indeed, had prefaces, but they dealt with the heroes, Bruce and Wallace, not with the writers. And even Lyndsay owes little to his prohemiator. There is something on the second of the “two pointis ”—“his maner of wryting, the utilitie of his warkis, and quhat frute, profite, and commoditie may ensue and follow to the diligent reidar and revolvar of the samin ”—but it is not properly literary criticism. A single anecdote illustrates his character. “ Bot seing it is nocht monie yeiris past, sen it hes pleisit the Eternall God, to call our Authour, out of the miserabill and trubilsum calamiteis of this transitorie lyfe, untill his celestiall joy, and hevinlie habitatioun, swa the memorie of him is bot as yit recent, and not out of the hartis of mony yit levand, to quhome his haill maner of lyfe was better knawin than unto me, I think it not greitlie neidfull to tary thee thairon, bot will remit thee to lerne it at thir mouthis.” Strangely perverted as it must appear to us who can no longer learn from the mouths of contemporaries, such reasoning may often have stayed those who might have left valuable records. Oftener the reasoning was un- necessary : nobody thought an author’s life matter for curiosity at all. Such notices as do occur are nearly always due to accident. Perhaps the only exceptions are the entries in public records that relate to royal patronage of poets. But for such entries the very period at which Blind Harry lived would have been INTRODUCTION. ix known to us only from the vague statement of Major. There is no other documentary evidence by which Dempster’s error of a century could have been detected. That error, by the way, is no misprint, for it occurs in three of his works. Other entries in the records may be classed along with the testimony of historians as accidental. They found a place because those they celebrated were men who had important parts to play in the State, not because they were poets. The deeds of James I., Gawin Douglas, and David Lyndsay fell to be recorded in political history, and if they wrote poems that was one more accomplishment to note in their eulogies. The mediaeval mind could pass readily from the man to the poem as an interesting fact con- cerning him. It did not pass readily from the poem to the man: literature was communal. A man’s writings could hardly be considered his own when there was so much recasting of old work, so much imitation of old forms, as among the poets of the Middle Ages: when a translation was as little like its original as the devil and St Austin, and curses were necessary to restrain the copyist from altering at will. Recent criticism has sought to show that some chief works of our early litera- ture owe their present shape as much to the later scribe as to him that told the tale in older times. However this may be, it is clear that to the reader of poetry the poet, if thought of at all, was but a name, vaguely associated with excellence in versifying. If it should happen that his life for some reason was of interest, the historian when he came to mention his poetic skill might cite some of his works by name. Sometimes the historian’s eye is partly upon the poem, and he is X INTRODUCTION. interested in the fact of authorship as a fact concerning the poem. Oftener he is thinking of the man : the poem touches only the outside of his consciousness ; and it is named only as a testimony to the truth of his com- mendation. Even as late as Drummond of Haw- thornden this part of a historian’s task is performed with a perfunctoriness which, in one himself a poet, sets the reader inquiring after an explanation. Of James I. Hawthornden says: “He wrote Verses both Latins and English, of which many yet are extant.” James V. “ was studious of all good arts, naturally given to Poesie, as many of his verses yet extant testifie.” Douglas was “ a man noble, valiant, learned, and an excellent Poet, as his works yet extant testifie.” (b) The Historians. Earlier historians are commonly as vague as Haw- thornden ; but not always. The earliest who had any poetical predecessors to celebrate is one of the most satisfactory of all. Andrew of Wyntoun mentions two poets, without requiring the usual excuse for their introduction. He has another, however. The office of historian had not yet been disjoined from that of poet, and of their authority as historians he has something to say. Wyntoun repeatedly cites Barbour’s work, the lost Stewarts’ Original and Brut as well as the Bruce.1 In these references there is little that can be called criticism. Wyntoun merely expresses his reverence for his predecessor who could 1 n. 131-8, 769 ff. ; in. 631-6 (Cotton, 621-6); VIII. 177 ff. (Cotton), 934-46 (Cotton, 972-84), ed. Amours (Wemyss text). INTRODUCTION. xi tell the tale better than he, and proves both the sincerity and the truth of his opinion by his long extracts. The famous passage on Huchown of the Awle Ryale is an insertion due to the carefulness of the historian, so far as its occasion is concerned; but the author’s delight in Huchown’s poetry soon takes advantage of the opportunity, if indeed it was not the true impelling motive. Having excused his own recklessness in differ- ing from Huchown, and calling Lucius Iberius Pro- curator instead of Emperor, he proceeds to excuse Huchown and to praise him. “ Fra blame ban is ]>e auctour quyte, As he befor him fand to write ; And men of gud discretioun Suld excufi and loif Huchoun, That cunnand wes in litterature.

It is the , starting-point of the controversy about Huchown and his works; and it is the first specimen in Scots of a critical and bibliographical notice of a Scottish poet— if we may assume that the shadowy Huchown was a 1 Book v. lines 4327-4344 (Wemyss), 4305-4322 (Cotton), ed.

The terminus post quem and lynchpin of their evidence was the following passage from the beginning of Book II chapter 9 in John of Fordun’s Chronica Gentis Scotorum, which they dated variously from the 1360s to the 1390s:1 The character of the Scots however varies according to the difference in language. For they have two languages, namely the Scottish language (lingua Scotica) and the Teutonic language (lingua Theutonica).

McGavin (University of Southampton), ‘“Things Indifferent”? Performativity and Calderwood’s History of the Kirk’ Plenary Debate: ‘Literary Culture in Medieval and Renaissance Scotland: Perspectives and Patterns’ Speakers: Prof. Sally Mapstone (Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the University of St Andrews) and Prof. Roger Mason (University of St Andrews and President of the Scottish History Society) Plenary abstracts: Prof. Alessandra Petrina: ‘From the margins’ Sixteenth-century Scottish literature suffers from the superimposition of a European periodization that sorts ill with its historical circumstances, and from the centripetal force of the neighbouring Tudor culture. Thus, in the perception of literary historians, it is often reduced to a marginal phenomenon, that draws its force solely from its powers of receptivity and imitation. Yet, as Philip Sidney writes in his Apology for Poetry, imitation can be transformed into creative appropriation: ‘the diligent imitators of Tully and Demosthenes (most worthy to be imitated) did not so much keep Nizolian paper-books of their figures and phrases, as by attentive translation (as it were) devour them whole, and made them wholly theirs’. The often lamented marginal position of Scottish early modern literature was also the key to its insatiable exploration of continental models and its development of forms that had long exhausted their vitality in Italy or France.

  • Spinning Scotland Abstr
    1 ABSTRACTS FOR SPINNING SCOTLAND CONFERENCE GLASGOW UNIVERSITY - 13 th SEPTEMBER 2008 2 PANEL 1: ISLAND POETRY – ON THE FRINGE? Iain MacDonald – Linden J Bicket – Emma Dymock 9.30 – 11am Iain MacDonald The Very Heart of Beyond: Gaelic Nationalism and the Work of Fionn Mac Colla. The work of Fionn Mac Colla (Thomas Douglas Macdonald) examines the development of religious ideas and politics on Scottish society. He was primarily concerned with the representation of Scottish Gaelic and the cultural implications for Scotland with the erosion and re-establishment of Gaelic culture and identity in the industrialising modern era. These themes are most comprehensively explored in his best-known works, The Albannach (1932) and And The Cock Crew (1945) J.L. Broom's claim that MacColla's obsession with Calvinism's influence over Scotland had 'reached such proportions as to have distorted his artistic priorities' has influenced attitudes and encouraged lazy critical reception of the writer. It is my contention that MacColla's contribution to the developing 'Scottish Literary Renaissance' of the 1920s and 30s can be described as major, even if, at times, deserved critical reception has been thwarted. Mac Colla's work is primarily concerned with Scottish Gaelic culture, and its history. Although his fictional work concentrates on Gaelic communities in the central Highlands, Mac Colla spent 20 years living and teaching in the Hebrides. In this paper I will demonstrate that Mac Colla's work and themes are interwoven with his own experiences of the Gaelic community. I will also examine the title of this panel with reference to Fionn Mac Colla.

Jack Which Vernacular Revival? Burns and the Makars When I was introduced to Bums at university, he was properly described as the senior member of a poetic trinity. With Ramsay and Fergusson, we were told, he initiated something called "The Vernacular Revival." That is, in the eighteenth century these poets revived poetic use of Scots ("THE vernacular") after a seventeenth century of treacherous anglicization caused by James VI and the Union of the Crowns. Sadly, as over a hundred years had elapsed, this worthy rescue effort might resuscitate but could never restore the national lan­ guage to the versatility in fullness of Middle Scots. This pattern and these words-national language, treachery, etc.-still dominate Scottish literary history. They are based on modem assumptions about language use within the United Kingdom. To see Bums's revival of the Scots vernacular in primarily political terms conveniently makes him anticipate the linguistic position of that self-confessed twentieth-century Anglophobe, C.
