Excerpt from The Taill of Rauf Coilyear: A Scottish Metrical Romance of the Fifteenth Century, Edited, With Introduction, Notes, and Glossarial IndexThis northern school of poetry, so far as we are able to judge, continued the ancient Anglian traditions, underwent changes, and, like the southern school, reconstructed itself on French models. In the fifteenth century it was greatly influenced by the genius Of Chaucer, and after the death of that poet, produced the most original and vigorous poetry that the island could boast, for about a hundred years.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
