Transforming academic and popular understanding of this pivotal but, until now, largely under-researched literary figure, this volume offers the first full and consistent edition of Allan Ramsay’s prose. The volume contains all extant prose writings, from both manuscript and print sources. As well as all known letters, the volume includes prefaces, dedications and advertisements for Ramsay’s major collections. It also contains Ramsay’s anonymously-published Some Few Hints in Defence of Dramatical Entertainments, the full text of his influential collection of Scots Proverbs and significant prose from manuscript sources, including Ramsay’s account of Edinburgh’s Porteous Riots in April 1736 and notes on contemporary plays. In these works, we see Ramsay’s consistent and steadfast commitment to preserving Scottish literary culture, and gain a privileged insight into Ramsay’s personality, his priorities, ambitions and core beliefs.
