About this book

Henry the Minstrel, known as Blind Hary, tells the life and acts of Sir William Wallace of Ellerslie in verse, here in John Jamieson's edition of a manuscript dated 1488. This is volume two of a Glasgow edition of 1869 that pairs the poem with Barbour's The Bruce.

Jamieson's preliminary remarks admit how little is known of the poet. The Scottish historian John Major wrote that Henry was blind from birth and recited the poem before noble hearers. Henry himself says he wrote to keep Wallace's deeds from being forgotten, and Jamieson gives notes and a glossary for the old Scots.
