The Poems of Robert Henryson: (Scotnotes Study Guides) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Robert Henryson, along with his contemporary William Dunbar, is one of the most significant figures of medieval Scottish literature and is a distinctive voice in the fifteenth-century Northern Renaissance. His subtle use of language and careful balance of humour with high seriousness presents a picture of a vigourous and compassionate intellect, firmly rooted in his society and yet engaging with the wider world. Gerald Baird's SCOTNOTE study guide explores Henryson's major works - the Fables, The Testament of Cresseid, Orpheus and Euridice and Robene and Makyne - and provides detailed information for senior school pupils and students at all levels.
