Book excerpt: Excerpt from Specimens of Middle Scots: With Introduction, Notes, and Glossary This book was at first intended to be merely a reprint of a few representative texts of Middle Scots for the convenience of students of English. I have been tempted to enlarge the original purpose, and to offer the volume as a General Introduction to the subject. My chief excuse for the venture, that there is no work of the kind available, may but prove my rashness, when so much remains to be done before an adequate survey can be made. Yet the book does not claim to give an exhaustive account of the whole matter, nor even of the minor propositions which are already established. It asks no more than the privilege of introducing the student, and perhaps the general reader, to the systematic treatment of the language of our older Northern literature during the period of its greatest renown. All the texts have been carefully collated with the originals. A few errors of the scribes or printers have been corrected, and are indicated in the Notes, where I have occasionally suggested an editorial emendation.

Thus, as well as such major writers as Robert Henryson, William Dunbar, Gavin Douglas, Allan Ramsay, Robert Fergusson, Robert Burns, Walter Scott, Robert Louis Stevenson and Hugh MacDiarmid, the Companion also lists many minor writers whose work might otherwise have been overlooked in any survey of Scottish literature. Also included here are entries on the lives of other more peripheral writers such as historians, philosophers, diarists and divines whose work has made a contribution to Scottish letters. Other essays range over such general subjects as the principal work of major writers, literary movements, historical events, the world of printing and publishing, folklore, journalism, drama and Gaelic. A feature of the book is the inclusion of the bibliography of each writer and reference to the major critical works. This comprehensive guide is an essential tool for the serious student of Scottish literature as well as being an ideal guide and companion for the general reader.
