Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes language from a diverse array of Middle Scots literary works, written over a century starting in the late 15th, showing how they differed from and built upon the era before and the one after. The study discusses the historical influence of Celtic, Scandinavian, French, and Latin, and provides insights into how these texts conflicted with, borrowed from, and were apart from their English contemporaries. Key themes include the consistency of spelling and pronunciation, the continued relevance of Northern English literature in Scots literature, the varied influences at play in the development of Scots in this period, and the growth of uniquely Scottish literary themes and language patterns. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Middle Scots, the history of the Scots language, or the development of Scottish literature.
