The Feeling For Nature In Scottish Poetry
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
A facsimile copy of John Veitch's 1887 text, examining the use of nature imagery in Scottish poetry of the Stuart period, from the 13th-15th century. John Veitch was Professor of Logic and Rhetoric at the University of Glasgow, and this is considered to be a culturally and historically significant work. Reproduced from the original artefact, this remains as true to the original work as possible, including library stamps, type setting and notes to title page. 'To me it has often seemed curious and puzzling that at any time in the history of Scottish national feeling, and especially national poetry, there should not have been a deep, quick and impassioned emotion for the hills, the glens, the burns and the gleaming rivers of the country, - such as the Tweed and the Nith, the Teviot and the Tay ...' Veitch begins, going on to introduce and discuss in detail selected Scottish poems of the era in their original dialect. A paperback facsimile with printed cover in excellent, clean condition with slight shelf wear.
