Two poems of the Napoleonic wars anchor this small selection: The Vision of Don Roderick, written in 1811 during the struggle in the Peninsula, in which the last Gothic king of Spain sees his country’s future, and The Field of Waterloo of 1815. Shorter songs and ballads follow, including “Pibroch of Donald Dhu”.
