Review Quotes: "Katherine H. Terrell's important study breaks new ground in situating the work of poets associated with the court of James IV--William Dunbar, Walter Kennedy, and Gavin Douglas--within a tradition stemming from Latin and vernacular chronicle history.... [Her] rich and careful study offers valuable insight into the cultural landscape of late medieval Scotland, demonstrating how literature, history, and myth are imbricated in the construction of ideas of nation." --Elizabeth Elliott, Speculum
