Running from the sixth century to the end of the twentieth, this outstanding collection presents the rich stylistic and linguistic currents of Scottish poetry in a clear yet nuanced way. Readers will find - both in the original and in modern translation - great cornerstones of Scotland's early poetic traditions, substantial selections from the late medieval makars and generous representations of the widely-loved ballads. Vital poets such as Burns, Stevenson and McDiarmid form part of the book's core design, and the twentieth century brings readers right up to the present day with selections from the best of the contemporary poets, incuding Douglas Dunn, Liz Lochead and Don Paterson.
