Book Overview
The book ""The Authorship Of The Kingis Quair: A New Criticism"" by John Brown is a scholarly work that explores the authorship of the medieval Scottish poem ""The Kingis Quair"". The poem is a dream-vision that tells the story of a king who falls in love with a woman he sees in his dream and then wakes up to search for her. The book provides a detailed analysis of the poem, its historical context, and its literary influences. Brown presents a new theory about the authorship of the poem, arguing that it was written by King James I of Scotland, rather than by the traditionally attributed author, John Barbour. The book is aimed at scholars and students of medieval literature, as well as anyone interested in the history and culture of medieval Scotland.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
