Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Gavin Douglas, Bishop of Dunkeld, Vol. 1: With Memoir, Notes, and Glossary It is a circumstance somewhat surprising that the long period of three centuries and a half should have elapsed between the death of the celebrated poet, Gavin Douglas, Bishop of Dunkeld, and the publication of this the first collected edition of his works. While the separate poems of the Bishop, which have been printed at intervals between 1553 and 1830, are fully described in the following Biographical Introduction, a few notes as to editions of his works formerly projected may not be uninteresting in this place. So far back as the year 1786, the indefatigable Scottish Antiquary, John Pinkerton, in his "List of all the Scottish Poets, with brief Remarks," (Ancient Scot. Poems, i. p. cxxv.) intimated his intention of editing the works of such as might be deemed classic, and, whose works would "be reprinted to the end of the English language." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
