Golden Treasury of Scottish Poetry

Golden Treasury of Scottish Poetry

The Golden Treasury of Scottish Poetry was edited by Hugh MacDiarmid, and published in 1940. From the introduction:

"The difference … between this anthology and all previous anthologies of Scottish poetry — is that some little effort has been made to present an "all-in view" of Scottish poetry and in particular to give some little representation to its Gaelic and Latin elements."

It contained a number of ballads, and other anonymous verse. The introduction also makes the case for Lallans as a poetic language, "contra" Edwin Muir.
