| Abstract
|
:
|
The focus of this study is the use of amatory discourses in poetry of a political or advisory nature, written in Scotland between the early fifteenth and mid-sixteenth century. Joanna Martin offers new readings of the writings of both famous and less well-known figures in the Scottish literature of this period, placing these poems in the context of Scotland's repeated experience of royal minority and consequent political upheaval.
