THE KINGUS QUAIR is a poem of clear Chaucerian descent, written in the same seven-line stanzas as Trailus and Criseyde, that marks the beginning of a Chaucerian movement in the literature of Scotland. The poem exists in only one manuscript, MS Arch. Selden B. 24 of the Bodleian Library at Oxford University, where it is twice attributed to King James I of Scotland (1424-1437). Indeed, it is due to the connection with James that the particular seven-line stanza format in which the poem is written is now known as 'rhyme royal.' Rickett's prefaced this edition with quotations taken from Rossetti's historical ballad 'The Kings Tradgedy'. Richett's arranged to have the Vale Press publications printed at the Ballantyne Press as private press books by a carefully chosen selection of compositors, readers, pressmen and binders freed from the everyday demands of the press.
