"The
story of
Wallace poured a Scottish prejudice in my veins which will boil along
there
till the floodgates of life shut in eternal rest." Robert Burns
This
extraordinary
poem has been widely popular and influential since it was written in
the
fifteenth century, and its heroic account of the swordfighter Wallace
was
to symbolise the cause of liberty and independence to many other
countries
and cultures in the centuries to come.
Looking
back to
the days of Bruce and the war of independence, Blind Harry's poem is
not
an aristocratic tale of chivalry and nobility, but a vivid account of
the
vagaries of war and the brutal realities of battle, wounding and
betrayal,
all seen from the point of view of the troops in the field.
The
fruit
of
many years of scholarship, Anne McKim has produced a definitive edition
of this truly epic work. |
