The Authorship Of The Kingis Quair: A New Criticism

By John Thomas Toshach Brown

Book Overview

""The Authorship of the Kingis Quair: A New Criticism"" is a book written by John Brown that delves into the authorship of the famous medieval poem, ""The Kingis Quair"". The book presents a new critical analysis of the poem's authorship, challenging the traditional attribution of the poem to King James I of Scotland. Brown argues that the poem was not written by the king, but rather by an anonymous court poet who was heavily influenced by James's ideas and experiences. The book provides a detailed examination of the poem's language, style, and themes, drawing on a range of historical and literary sources to support its argument. Overall, ""The Authorship of the Kingis Quair"" is a fascinating exploration of one of the most important works of medieval Scottish literature, and a valuable contribution to the field of literary criticism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
