Publisher's Synopsis
Collecting writings from well-known figures such as John Knox and James VI through to the many lesser-known authors who flourished towards the end of the 17th century, this anthology offers a remarkable cross-section of Scottish thought during the crucial years of the Reformation. With examples from a wide range of the major genres of the period—from religious and political tracts to essays, romance, sermons, and diaries—this highly original selection of texts presents the prose of an important period in the development of Scottish literature in more detail than ever.
