Om denne bog
The Bush aboon Traquair, like Allan Ramsay''s The Gentle Shepherd, is a pastoral drama with songs, and in this play Hogg celebrates the life of the people of his native community in Ettrick Forest. At times earthy and at times hilarious, The Bush aboon Traquair focuses on rural courtship, and it derives part of its energy from its presentation of a contrast between the old ways and an emerging (but not always admirable) modernity. This edition includes the first-ever publication of the unbowdlerised version of The Bush aboon Traquair.Written on the occasion of George IV''s famous royal visit to Edinburgh in 1822, The Royal Jubilee is another pastoral drama with songs. In this ''Scottish Mask'', Hogg brings a group of representative Scottish spirits to a ''romantic dell'' on Arthur''s Seat. These spirits give expression to past Scottish grievances against royalty, while indicating their hope that the King''s visit will bring renewal and a fresh start. This potentially ambiguous expression of loyalty is further complicated by various Jacobite references and echoes as the spirits prepare to welcome a Hanoverian king, returning to the ancient kingdom of his Stuart ancestors.
