The collection contains all the poets everyone has heard of - Burns, Stevenson, MacDiarmid,Henryson, Scott, Drummond of Hawthornden - and many more beside, including writers from the current renaissance in Scottish poetry.
Gerard Carruthers' SCOTNOTE study guide focuses on three novels: The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, The Master of Ballantrae, and The Ebb-Tide. Suitable for senior school pupils and students at all levels.
