unusual facts about Robert Henryson


Roman de Troie

In the Roman, the daughter of Calchas is called Briseis, but she is better known under a different name, becoming Criseida in Boccaccio's il Filostrato, Criseyde in Chaucer, Cresseid in Robert Henryson's The Testament of Cresseid and ultimately Cressida in Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida.

Scotsoun

The recordings were created over a period of thirty years by George Philp and Allan Ramsay and feature the voices of present poets in the language, such as William Neill, as well as audio readings, by poets and scholars, of a wide range of canonical texts, including extracts from Barbour and work of makars such as Henryson and Dunbar.

Scottish Renaissance

Where these earlier movements had been steeped in a sentimental and nostalgic Celticism, however, the modernist-influenced Renaissance would seek a rebirth of Scottish national culture that would both look back to the medieval "makar" poets William Dunbar and Robert Henrysoun as well as look towards such contemporary influences as T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, and D. H. Lawrence.

The Cock and the Jewel

Literary translations of the fable, using the Latin Romulus as their source, include those by Marie de France, John Lydgate and Robert Henryson, and translators tended to retain its first-place position.
