The Songs of Scotland of the Past Half Century Produced by Ted Garvin, Susan Skinner and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Modern Scottish Minstrel, Volume 1" by Charles Rogers is a comprehensive collection of Scottish songs and poetry written in the mid-19th century. This volume aims to celebrate and compile the works of notable Scottish poets from the past half-century, complete with memoirs about the authors and specimens of their poetry. The work strives to create a repository of national song, filling a gap in the appreciation of Scottish minstrelsy by including lyrical compositions alongside biographical sketches of the poets. At the start of "The Modern Scottish Minstrel," the preface outlines the editor's intention to rectify previous deficiencies in the collection of Scottish poetry, particularly those of Gaelic bards. Rogers introduces John Skinner as the first modern poet in the series, sharing details of his life and works, including popular songs like "Tullochgorum." Skinner's story reflects a blend of personal and poetic development that resonates with the broader themes of Scottish identity and artistry. The opening portion establishes both the historical context and the significance of this anthology, promising a rich exploration of Scotland's poetic landscape.
