Summary:This book brings together original essays by a group of international scholars to offer fresh and ground-breaking research into the "Advice to Princes" tradition and related themes of good self- and public governance on Oder Scots literature, and in Latin literature composed in Scotland in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The essays honour Professor Sally Mapstone and bring to the fore texts both from and about the royal court in a variety of genres, including satire, tragedy, complaint, dream vision, chronicle, epic, romance, and devotional and didactic treatise, and consider texts composed for noble readers and for a wider readership able to access printed material.
