Three eighteenth-century Scottish poets share this edition by George Gilfillan, each with a life and critical essay. James Beattie’s The Minstrel traces the growth of a young poet’s genius, Robert Blair’s The Grave broods on mortality, and William Falconer’s The Shipwreck draws on the author’s own experience of disaster at sea.
