Maitland Quarto Manuscript Edition

项目摘要

This research project will result in the first critical edition of the Maitland Quarto Manuscript (c.1586), an important collection of Older Scots verse. The poetry of the Maitland Quarto is presently only available in an out-of-print Scottish Text Society volume of 1920 by W.A. Craigie, which is a combination of a diplomatic and facsimile edition with sparse introduction, incomplete textual notes and glossary. The only edition of Maitland's poems is that of Joseph Bain, published in a limited run for the Maitland Club in 1831 (also out of print). Only a small number of the Quarto's texts appear in modern anthologies of Scottish verse. The Quarto contains ninety-five poems. Amongst these it preserves all but one of the poems attributed to Sir Richard Maitland of Lethington (c.1496-1586), in contemporary sources, forty-four in total. Maitland was one of the most prolific writers and most distinctive poetic voices of the reigns of Mary Queen of Scots and James VI. His poems are of interest because of their topical nature, and because they reflect the literary influences, fashions and concerns of writers of the third quarter of the sixteenth century. They also evidence the circulation of, and interest in, the works of important Scottish poets of the first half of the sixteenth-century, especially William Dunbar and David Lyndsay. A number of Maitland's poems have considerable literary merit and innovativeness and have attracted attention from leading critics (most notably, Professor Alasdair MacDonald), yet remain inaccessible for most students and scholars. A new edition of the Maitland Quarto would provide access to the virtually complete corpus of Maitland's poems. No other source permits this. The Quarto also contains works by John Maitland, Alexander Arbuthnot, Alexander Montgomerie, and Thomas and Robert Hudson (which are found only here or in the Maitland Folio). In addition, the manuscript contains thirty-eight unattributed poems. Most of these anonymous poems are unique, or attested only in a small number of other sources, such as London, Society of Antiquaries MS 87. The Maitland Quarto is therefore highly significant in revealing much about developments in Scottish literary culture in the second half of the sixteenth century, particularly in the neglected period c. 1550-1586, which has been often overlooked in favour of the 'golden age' of Scottish poetry in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries and the flourishing of literature at James VI's court in the late 1580s and 1590s.The Quarto includes translations from French, and poems with likely, but as yet untraced, continental sources. Its synthesis of elegies, epitaphs, friendship poems, and Sapphic verse, and an early example of 'the country house poem' (perhaps the earliest British example), make it an unusually diverse collection of sixteenth-century verse. This new edition of the Quarto Manuscript will provide access to, and full contextualization of, these texts. The project is conducted according to current principles of textual scholarship. It involves making a full transcription of the manuscript (from microfilm and the original document) and the annotation of all poems through the provision of textual notes (collating readings from other witnesses) and explantory notes, glossary, critical introduction and bibliography. This edition is currently under contract with the Scottish Text Society (to be published for the Society by the major academic publisher, Boydell and Brewer) for publication in 2013.

这项研究项目将导致梅特兰夸托四重奏手稿（c.1586）的第一个关键版本，一个重要的收集旧苏格兰诗歌。梅特兰夸托的诗歌目前只能在绝版的苏格兰文本协会卷1920年由W. A。Craigie，这是一个外交和传真版与稀疏介绍，不完整的文本注释和词汇表的组合。梅特兰诗歌的唯一版本是约瑟夫·贝恩（Joseph Bain）的版本，于1831年为梅特兰俱乐部限量出版（也已绝版）。只有少数的夸托的文本出现在现代苏格兰诗歌选集。夸托包含九十五首诗。其中，它保留了所有的诗，但一个归因于理查德梅特兰爵士Lethington（c.1496-1586），在当代来源，共44。梅特兰是苏格兰玛丽女王和詹姆斯六世统治时期最多产的作家和最独特的诗歌声音之一。他的诗是有趣的，因为他们的主题性质，因为他们反映了文学的影响，时尚和16世纪第三季度的作家关注。它们也证明了16世纪上半叶苏格兰重要诗人的作品的流传和兴趣，特别是威廉·邓巴和大卫·林赛。梅特兰的一些诗歌有相当大的文学价值和创新性，并引起了主要评论家的注意（最著名的是阿拉斯代尔·麦克唐纳教授），但大多数学生和学者仍然无法访问。新版的梅特兰夸托将提供几乎完整的梅特兰诗歌语料库。没有其他来源允许这样做。该夸托还包含作品约翰梅特兰，亚历山大阿巴斯诺特，亚历山大蒙哥马利，和托马斯和罗伯特哈德逊（这是发现只有在这里或梅特兰对开）。此外，手稿包含38首未署名的诗歌。这些无名氏的诗大多数是独一无二的，或者只在少数其他来源中得到证实，如伦敦，古董学会MS 87。因此，《梅特兰夸托》在揭示16世纪后半叶，特别是被忽视的16世纪前半叶苏格兰文学文化发展方面具有重要意义。1550年至1586年，这是经常被忽视的支持'黄金时代'的苏格兰诗歌在15世纪末和16世纪初和繁荣的文学在詹姆斯六世的法院在16世纪80年代末和16世纪90年代。夸托包括翻译从法国，和诗歌可能，但尚未追查，大陆来源。它综合了挽歌、墓志铭、友谊诗和萨福诗，以及“乡村住宅诗”的早期范例（也许是英国最早的范例），使它成为一部异常多样化的16世纪诗歌集。这个新版本的夸托手稿将提供这些文本的访问和充分的背景化。该项目是根据目前的文本奖学金的原则进行。它包括对手稿（从缩微胶片和原始文件）进行完整的转录，并通过提供文本注释（整理其他证人的阅读）和书目注释，词汇表，关键介绍和参考书目对所有诗歌进行注释。这一版本目前正与苏格兰文本协会签订合同（将由主要学术出版商博塞尔和布鲁尔为该协会出版），将于2013年出版。
