King James I
Robert Henryson
Gavin Douglas
Reader, HAROLD L. WIGHTMAN
(From Glasgow)
Of the three poets who are included in our anthology of Scottish verse James I is probably the best known personality because of his long captivity in England and his romantic marriage. Henryson, however, is more typically Scots, and many of our listeners will be familiar with some of his fables. Gavin Douglas , at one time Bishop of Dunkeld, translated Virgil's ' Aeneid ' into Scots, the prologues to which contain descriptions of Scottish landscape which have great charm and poetic merit.
Harold Wightman is well known and popular in the West Coast as an elocutionist and entertainer, and has played in several of the Scottish National Players' productions.
