William Dunbar was a Scottish poet who lived in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. Despite his considerable talent, he has been largely overlooked by literary scholars. This volume, edited by David Laing, seeks to rectify this oversight by collecting Dunbar's poems in one place and providing readers with a detailed biography of the poet. Dunbar's verse is witty, lyrical, and full of keen observations about human nature, and this collection is a must-read for anyone interested in early Scottish poetry.
