Scottish history is unarguably rich and a number of notable anniversaries are looming, not least the quincentenary of Flodden in 2013 and the 700-year-anniversary of the Battle of Bannockburn in 2014. There’s no better time, then, for Scottish History in Verse. This unique anthology consists of some 230 poems and songs that mark various Scottish occasions and celebrate famous Scots. Topics range from the Carron Ironworks to the launch of the Hillman Imp, from Hardicanute to Georgie Porgie, from Somerled to John Maclean, and from James Watt to Ronald Ross. Places stretch from Clydebank to the Zambezi. Burns and Scott are there of course, but so are Shakespeare and Southey, not to mention W.N. Herbert and Robert Crawford.

In time for Burns Night (the annual celebration of Scottish culture that takes place on January 25, the birthday of Robert Burns)—a sweeping literary tour of Scotland from the Middle Ages to the present, the only single-volume collection of Scottish poetry currently available. Scottish poetry has a long and distinguished history in three languages—English, Scots, and Gaelic—and all are well represented here. The most renowned and beloved poets—Robert Burns, Sir Walter Scott, Robert Louis Stevenson, Hugh MacDiarmid, and Muriel Spark among them—mingle with their lesser-known but equally distinctive compatriots, including many of those who have emerged from the recent Scottish poetry renaissance. The poems are organized by theme: from matters of the heart to subjects spiritual and philosophical to the poetry of place. All of the verse is marked by a characteristic energy, wit, satire, and passionate lyrical intensity, and all demonstrates the power of art that proudly emanates from, but is never limited by, the place of its birth.

Excerpt from Tales From Scottish History: In Prose and Verse; Selected From the Works of Standard Authors The plan of this book is similar to that of the Tales from English History and the Tales of Chivalry. "My aim," as I said in the preface to the latter, "is to edit certain selections from standard prose and poetry suited either for 'supplementary reading, ' as it is called, or for elementary study in English literature. The brief foot-notes under the text are perhaps all that some teachers will regard as necessary for the former purpose; but I believe that the longer notes at the end of the book will be found more or less useful and suggestive for oral instruction in connection with the reading-lessons. These latter notes, however, are more especially designed for the other purpose I have mentioned - elementary study of language and literature. They have been prepared with much care, and I am confident that they will be perfectly intelligible to boys and girls in grammar schools and others of similar grade." How I think the books should be used is explained in a little pamphlet of "Hints to Teachers," which may be obtained, post-free, from the publishers. The selections are arranged in historical or chronological order, and the book is complete in itself, as every volume of the series is intended to be. Of the selections from Scott, the two concerning Mary Queen of Scots are condensed from The Abbot, the Rob Roy is from the introduction to the novel with that title, and The Battle of Preston Pans is from Waverley. The rest are from the Tales of a Grandfather. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
