The Oxford Book of Scottish Verse

A wealth of artistry and talent highlight the poignant and often heartbreaking history of this small nation. This collection of poetry brings to light the richness of the Scottish culture and the amazing diversity of her people. Selections from the 1200's through the 1900's trace the passion and the pain of a nation who's people have helped to shape the world in which we live. Every facet of life and society is touched upon in this collection and the translations into English on each page make understanding the "old language" so much easier. As a lover of Poetry or a lover of Scotland, this book is a treasure for any collector to own. I highly recommend that you own it and read it... again and again!
