Reviews
Martin and Wingfield have excelled as editors in bringing together essays that both reflect and honor the scholarship of Mapstone and her influence on the academic work of so many in the field of Older Scots, and demonstrate the complexity of the state of the field. This is a particularly welcome volume that will prompt further examination of the texts and themes it showcases, not only from its contributors but also through its influence on future scholarship. * Kate Ash-Irisarri, Speculum *
This excellent collection of essays showcases the work of some of the leading early and mid-career scholars of Older Scots literature and culture ... turn with pleasure to the careful scholarship of the essays in Premodern Scotland. * John J. McGavin, Modern Language Review *
