Reviews for Duncane Laideus Testament and Other Comic Poems in Older Scots (Scottish Text Society Fifth)
Hadley Williams's detailed knowledge of the period makes the circumstances in which the texts were produced clear and in doing so she reveals aspects of politics that have been largely ignored. The utility of this work extends well beyond the purely literary.
