Ane Satire Of The Three Estates is a play written by David Lindsay in 1602. It is a satirical critique of the Scottish society of the time, particularly the corruption and immorality of the clergy, nobility, and commoners. The play is divided into three estates, each representing a different social class, and follows the story of a young king who seeks to reform his kingdom and restore virtue to society. Through a series of comedic and dramatic scenes, Lindsay exposes the hypocrisy and greed of those in power and promotes the values of honesty, justice, and humility. The play is written in Middle Scots, a dialect of the Scots language, and is considered a masterpiece of Scottish literature. It is also notable for its use of allegory and symbolism, as well as its commentary on the political and religious issues of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
