T1 Authorship of The Complaynt of Scotland
A1 Rodríguez Ledesma, M. Nieves
AB The Complaynt of Scotland is a literary work in prose modelled onChartier’s Quadrilogue Invectif, written in 1549 and apparently printedin France, probably Paris. The four extant copies of the original printededition are without title-pages, so that neither the original title nor theidentity of the author are known. This paper summarizes the theoriesproposed by the different editors of this work concerning its authorship:Leyden (1801), Murray (1872) and Stewart (1979), and then carriesout a linguistic study of three poems in the Bannatyne Manuscript(poems 345, 367 and 373) ascribed to Wedderburn (author also of TheComplaynt according to Stewart), which have echoes of theComplayner’s words and allusions. The results are compared to thoseobtained from The Complaynt in order to establish whether it is possibleto ascribe this work to Wedderburn.
