Dunbar, a courtier of Scotland's James I, is considered to be the finest lyric poet in English between about 1400 and 1557 and a leader amongst the Middle Scots Poets. He is credited with over 80 poems with structures and themes that reflect, depending on the poem, somewhere between medieval and Renaissance fascinations. Like most gentlemen poets, Dunbar's topics ranged from the devotional to works intended for public events (such as those welcoming Queen Margaret to Scotland) and private pleasure (such as two on James Dog, in which Dunabr asserts "He is na dog, he is a lam"), poetry in the courtly tradition, and a range of comical and satirical poetry. Editor Conlee works with the canonical texts in Middle English, with margin glossaries, and provides an extensive list of resources. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
