{"product_id":"the-prose-of-allan-ramsay-rhona-brown-9781399506977","title":"The Prose of Allan Ramsay","description":"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 \u003ci\u003eSome Few Hints in Defence of Dramatical Entertainments\u003c\/i\u003e, the full text of his influential collection of \u003ci\u003eScots Proverbs\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rhona Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399506978\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399506977\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 1.30d","brand":"Rhona Brown","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45897449668863,"sku":"9781399506977","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_de5a8a41-f838-489a-9e22-76103bbfc292.jpg?v=1721373956","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-prose-of-allan-ramsay-rhona-brown-9781399506977","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
