George Buchanan: Glasgow Quater-Centenary Studies is a book that explores the life and works of the Scottish scholar and humanist, George Buchanan. Written by George Neilson, a historian and literary critic, the book provides a comprehensive analysis of Buchanan's impact on Scottish culture and education during the 16th century. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Buchanan's life and legacy. The first chapter provides an overview of Buchanan's early years, including his education at the University of Paris and his eventual return to Scotland. The second chapter examines Buchanan's role as a teacher and scholar at the University of St. Andrews, where he taught Latin and Greek and wrote several influential works on history and politics. Subsequent chapters delve into Buchanan's political career, including his time as tutor to the young James VI of Scotland and his involvement in various political controversies. The book also explores Buchanan's literary output, including his translations of classical works and his own original poetry and drama. Throughout the book, Neilson provides detailed analysis of Buchanan's writings and their historical context, as well as insights into Buchanan's personality and character. The book is well-researched and engagingly written, making it an essential read for anyone interested in Scottish history, literature, or education.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
