Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of powerful and moving poems by Scottish writer William Edmondstoune Aytoun. Aytoun's work is celebrated for its expressions of love and loss, and his deep-seated passion for his homeland. A master of form and language, his poems are known for their soaring lyricism and rigorous precision. Aytoun's sympathies lay strongly with the Jacobite cause, and many of his most famous pieces, such as 'The Execution of Montrose', are stirring evocations of Scottish history. He is equally at home with the personal and the political, and his poems reveal the heart of a man who was deeply engaged with the world around him. Aytoun's work speaks across the centuries to readers today, and this collection offers a wonderful introduction to one of the most important and unjustly neglected figures in Scottish literature. These are poems that stay with you long after you've finished reading them, and they offer a unique and unforgettable insight into the soul of a nation.
