{"product_id":"the-queens-wake-a-legendary-tale-9780748620883","title":"The Queen's Wake: A Legendary Tale","description":"\u003ci\u003eThe Queen's Wake\u003c\/i\u003e is one of the landmarks of British Romantic poetry. It focuses on the return of Mary, Queen of Scots to Scotland in 1561 to take personal rule of her kingdom after her years in France. In the poem poets and bards hold a poetic competition (a 'wake') in Holyrood Palace to welcome the Queen home.When \u003ci\u003eThe Queen's Wake\u003c\/i\u003e was published in 1813 it proved an unexpected popular success, placing Hogg for a while alongside Byron and Scott as one of the most admired British poets of that time. Over the next six years Hogg made substantial revisions, making the poem even more attractive and saleable. The fifth edition (1819) is an enhanced and carefully polished version from a now established and respected poet. It is markedly different from the edgy, powerful and unsettling first version, which was the work of an impecunious and marginalised outsider. This book presents both the first and fifth edition of the poem.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Hogg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/11\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Stirling \/ South Carolina Research Edition of the Collected\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 470\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 1.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780748620883\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRevised Edition\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Edinburgh University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42917364433033,"sku":"9780748620883","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_7268c126-52b2-4454-bdde-d2eb9172fa06.jpg?v=1724134000","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-queens-wake-a-legendary-tale-9780748620883","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
