His lucid precis of a wide range of existing research in book history, and the clear-sighted perspectives he brings to bear when applying this research to the matter at hand, speaks of his real mastery of the subject. It would be hard to say which came first this theoretical subtlety, or what must have been tireless years of archival work - but manuscript studies has profited hugely, either way... * Deirdre Serjeantson, Scottish Literary Review * The most important thing this book does is argue that early modern Scotland had a distinct literary culture ... this book is a useful guide to the circulation of vernacular poetry in miscellany manuscripts * Jane Stevenson, Times Literary Supplement * There are many things to praise in this work, not least the close and informed engagement with the primary materials, including several manuscripts considered for the first time. Many of the characterisations of manuscripts and sequences of manuscripts are careful, thoughtful, and useful. * Peter Davidson, The Seventeenth Century. *

The most important thing this book does is argue that early modern Scotland had a distinct literary culture ... this book is a useful guide to the circulation of vernacular poetry in miscellany manuscripts Jane Stevenson, Times Literary Supplement
