Ane Satire Of The Three Estates: In Commendation Of Virtue And Vituperation Of Vice (1602) is a play written by David Lindsay. It is a satirical work that critiques the political and social systems of 16th century Scotland. The play is divided into three parts, each representing one of the three estates: the clergy, the nobility, and the common people. The play is set in the court of King James V and features a variety of characters, including a corrupt bishop, a greedy nobleman, and a wise commoner. The play is known for its use of allegory and its criticism of the Catholic Church. It is also notable for its use of Scots language, which was uncommon in literature at the time. The play was first performed in 1552 and was later revised by Lindsay in 1579 and 1602. It remains an important work in Scottish literature and is studied by scholars of Renaissance drama.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
