Alongside the other volumes in this new Collected Works, The Ever Green will transform academic and popular understanding of this pivotal but, until now, largely under-researched literary figure. It offers the first full and consistent edition of this text, based on the Bannatyne and other MSS (including an allegedly lost printed text of Alexander Montgomerie's Cherrie and the Slae). This volume contains the entire text of the 1724 two volume collection (including the prefatory material, also reproduced-but without MS variants- in Prose), an introduction explaining Ramsay's relationship with the material, how he came to be acquainted with it, and an explanation of his strategy to both present and co-create a Scottish literary tradition from before the Union of the Crowns in 1603. It also includes comprehensive notes on the text as Ramsay presents it.

The first ever edition of The Tea-Table Miscellany, the seminal collection in defining eighteenth-century Scottish song Detailed examination of the musical archaeology for each of the songs, providing for the first time comprehensive antecedents for almost all the songs in this critical contribution to the establishment of a Scottish song 'tradition' Uniquely comprehensive survey of early sources for the tunes of Ramsay's songs Detailed collation of texts against all extant manuscript sources and relevant printed editions and comprehensive explanatory annotations offering new insights into Ramsay's cultural, historical, political, literary and theatrical contexts This edition of The Tea-Table Miscellany is the first ever produced, bringing together the four volumes of this collection of songs published between 1723 and 1737. The Tea-Table Miscellany combines traditional Scottish song, works by Allan Ramsay and his contemporaries, together with material from D'Urfey, Playford and the English stage and broadside, in a collection of 399 songs. This edition offers, for the first time, annotations, background, and a study of origins for all the songs and tunes examining both Ramsay's categorisation of the authorship and origin of the song texts and tunes to which it was most likely he was referring. As such, the edition consists of a detailed introduction, the clearly presented song texts, notes on the songs that identify both their print and musical antecedents, musical illustrations that show major variations in the contemporary tunes with which the songs are associated, illustrations of the title pages, and the main design features and ornaments used in Ruddiman's original edition.

The definitive text of Allan Ramsay's poems, presenting his uncollected works chronologically for the first time, with comprehensive explanatory notes Offers the fullest edition of Ramsay's poems to date, in which previously undiscovered texts expand his known literary corpus Provides a definitive text of Ramsay's poems in which uncollected works are presented chronologically for the first time Detailed collation of texts against all extant manuscript sources and relevant printed editions, and comprehensive explanatory annotations offering new insights into Ramsay's historical, political, literary and religious contexts Allan Ramsay was central to all aspects of Scottish literary culture in the eighteenth century, working simultaneously in editing, playwriting, theatre management, song collecting and bookselling, as well as founding and directing Britain's first circulating library. It was, however, his own original work as a poet which had a transformative influence on the way in which Scottish literature would develop in the ensuing decades and, indeed, centuries. Emerging as a published author in the early 1710s, Ramsay built a remarkably prominent profile as a poet of the Scots language whose work appealed to a diverse range of readers, allowing him to produce prestigious subscribers' editions of his poems in 1721 and 1728 and to continue as a poet until his death in 1758. This definitive and ground-breaking edition of Ramsay's poems reflects the fifty-year career of an influential cultural and literary innovator, which will open new avenues for research.
