Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. En 1995 la película Braveheart dio a conocer la heroica figura de William Wallace, quien a fines del s. XIII se alzó contra la invasión de Escocia por Eduardo I de Inglaterra. El poema que aquí se presenta, traducido por primera vez al español desde el escocés medio por Fernando Toda, se redactó en el s. XV para ensalzar su gesta, con las exageraciones típicas del género y una hábil manipulación de la cronología por parte del autor, Hary, movido por un profundo nacionalismo escocés. Con vívidas descripciones de batallas terrestres y navales, diálogos casi novelísticos y observaciones irónicas con rasgos de humor negro, Hary nos presenta un héroe con un destino trágico y grandioso, pero también muy humano, a veces sorprendentemente moderno. En la Introducción, Toda sitúa la obra en su contexto histórico, analiza los sesgos de su autor y considera su relación con el poema del s. XIV La gesta de Roberto de Bruce, también vertido por él al español. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This extraordinary poem has been widely popular and influential ever since it was written in the fifteenth century, and its heroic account of the swordfighter Wallace was to symbolise the cause of liberty and independence to many other countries and cultures in the centuries to come.Looking back to the days of the Bruce and the war of independence, Blind Harry's poem is not an aristocratic tale of chivalry and nobility, but a vivid account of the vagaries of war and the brutal realities of battle, wounding and betrayal, all seen from the point of view of the troops in the field.The fruit of many years of scholarship, Anne McKim has produced what is unquestionably the definitive edition of this truly epic work.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good Plus/Near Fine. New Edition. 1968 & 1969, 2 volume set. PP cxxxii, 253; [v], 385. Endpaper maps. Publisher's green cloth with gilt titles to spines. Excellent condition with no inscriptions. The Scottish Text Society 4th series, volumes 4 & 5. PLEASE NOTE - Heavyish set so may require a little extra postage for non-UK customers. Hary's Wallace is a late fifteenth-century poem in twelve books, recounting the deeds of William Wallace, a leader of the Scots in the First War of Independence. It is an extraordinary and sophisticated piece of work, drawing on poetic styles from both England and Scotland, to create scenes of immense sensual and symbolic intensity to underpin a narrative of Wallace's heroism in the face of struggle, disloyalty and betrayal. This edition, by Matthew P. McDiarmid, is issued in 2 volumes by the Scottish Text Society, and is the standard scholarly edition of the poem.

First edition thus. It is generally agreed that while the sheets for this edition were printed in 1714, the books were not bound and sold until 1758. This copy lacking the title page, but with an early facsimile bound in, showing the date as 1714, not 1758. Bound in quarter diced calf over dark blue paper boards. Binding holding fine, but fairly worn at the corners and spine ends with a bookplate removed from the front paste-down and a shelf-location plate on the rear paste-down. Quarto (pages 222 x 175 mm) collating: 403, 79; complete but for the title page. Printed mostly in black letter with light foxing throughout. "To me, the editions printed by Freebairn appear more correct than any of the preceding ones, and his Wallace even preferable to the Perth edition, A. 1790; as, bating the liberty used with regard to the orthography, they, in a great variety of instances, give the sense of the original writers more accurately, having evidently been collated with the MSS. of The Bruce and Wallace in the Advocates' Library." (John Jamieson, editor of "The Bruce; and, Wallace" 1820) "Freebairn retains the merit of being the first to attempt a critical edition (Macdiarmid 1968-9: I: xii)." (The Edinburgh History of the Book in Scotland, Vol. 2).
