This well established anthology covering 700 years of Scottish verse is now republished in its fourth revised edition. Maurice Lindsay has revised and updated the volume once again, in which the representation of twentieth-century poets is strengthened even further and younger poets up to the present day are included. The poetry of a proud and beautiful nation in all its vivid strength, lyrical beauty, and satirical and comic energy is thus yet again made immediately available to lovers of poetry the world over.
