Project Gutenberg 2007-09-05 Public domain in the USA. 524 Rogers, Charles 1825 1890 Roger, Charles The Modern Scottish Minstrel, Volumes 1-6. The Songs of Scotland of the Past Half Century Susan Skinner, Ted Garvin and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Modern Scottish Minstrel, Volumes 1-6" by Charles Rogers is a collection of poetry and songs from modern Scottish authors, written in the mid-19th century. This ambitious work aims to compile the lyrical works of notable Scottish poets from the past fifty years, alongside biographical sketches of the poets themselves. Rogers intends to celebrate and preserve the rich tradition of Scottish song and poetry, providing a comprehensive account of the cultural heritage of Scotland, particularly highlighting the contributions from both Lowland and Gaelic poets. At the start of this extensive collection, the preface outlines Rogers's goals in bringing together these modern Scottish songs, emphasizing the need for a complete anthology that reflects the nation’s poetic spirit. He notes the previous neglect of the Gaelic bards, aiming to make their works accessible in English. He discusses the merits of various poets, such as John Skinner, and sets the stage for the elaborate selection of songs that will follow. The opening portion establishes a narrative that combines personal reflections on the art of songwriting with an overview of significant Scottish poets, foreshadowing a wealth of lyrical treasures carefully curated for readers interested in Scottish cultural identity and heritage.
