The Edinburgh Edition of The Collected Works of Allan Ramsay Murray Pittock, General Editor In Enlightenment Edinburgh, Allan Ramsay (c. 1684-1758) was a foundationally important poet, dramatist, song collector, theatre owner, cultural leader in art and music and innovative entrepreneur in many spheres from language to libraries. This series, the result of an international research project, presents Ramsay's complete works in a dependable scholarly edition for the first time, thereby illuminating a body of work crucial in its own right and essential to both the Scottish Enlightenment and the Vernacular Revival associated with Fergusson, Burns and others. [headline]The first scholarly edition of Allan Ramsay's Ever Green (1724), which introduced the poets of Renaissance Scotland to a British audience Alongside the other volumes in this new Collected Works, Ever Green will transform academic and popular understanding of this pivotal but, until now, largely under-researched literary figure. It offers the first full and consistent edition of the text, based on Bannatyne and other texts, including printed works and even a reported oral recitation. The volume contains the entire text of the 1724 two-volume collection (including the prefatory material), comprehensive notes on the text and an introduction explaining Ramsay's relationship with the material, how he came to be acquainted with it, and an explanation of his strategy to both present and co-create a Scottish literary tradition from before the Union of the Crowns in 1603.

The first scholarly edition of Tea-Table Miscellany, a seminal collection in defining eighteenth-century Scottish song. This edition of The Tea-Table Miscellany brings together the four volumes of the collection of songs published between 1723 and 1737. The Tea-Table Miscellany combines traditional Scottish song and works by Allan Ramsay and his contemporaries with material from D'Urfey, Playford and the English stage and broadside in a collection of 399 songs. For the first time, annotations, background and a study of the origins of all the songs and tunes are compiled, examining both Ramsay's categorisation of the authorship and origin of the song texts and tunes to which it was most likely he was referring. This scholarly edition includes: - A detailed introduction - Clearly presented song texts and notes on the songs that identify both their print and musical antecedents - Musical illustrations that show major variations in the contemporary tunes with which the songs are associated - Illustrations of the title pages, and the main design features and ornaments used in Ruddiman's original edition Murray Pittock MAE FRSE is Bradley Professor and Pro Vice-Principal at the University of Glasgow, and Scotland's leading cultural historian.

The definitive text of Allan Ramsay's poems, presenting his uncollected works chronologically for the first time, with comprehensive explanatory notes Allan Ramsay was central to all aspects of Scottish literary culture in the eighteenth century, working simultaneously in editing, playwriting, theatre management, song collecting and bookselling, as well as founding and directing Britain's first circulating library. It was, however, his own original work as a poet which had a transformative influence on the way in which Scottish literature would develop in the ensuing decades and, indeed, centuries. Emerging as a published author in the early 1710s, Ramsay built a remarkably prominent profile as a poet of the Scots language whose work appealed to a diverse range of readers, allowing him to produce prestigious subscribers' editions of his poems in 1721 and 1728 and to continue as a poet until his death in 1758. This definitive and ground-breaking 2 volume edition of Ramsay's poems reflects the fifty-year career of an influential cultural and literary innovator, which will open new avenues for research.
