Note
"Since the first Middle English texts series edition of The palis of honoure (1992), research into the literary culture and history of late fifteenth-century Scotland has produced much new knowledge relevant to Gavin Douglas and his poem. As discussed below, recent work on the text of the poem has strengthened the case for basing a new edition on the London print (William Copland, c. 1553)"--P. vii

Description and Table of Contents
Description
At the end of the fifteenth century, Gavin Douglas devised his ambitious dream vision The Palyce of Honour in part to signal a new scope to Scottish literary culture. While deeply versed in Chaucer's writings, Douglas identified Ovid's Metamorphoses as a particularly timely model in the light of contemporary humanist scholarship. For all its comedy, The Palyce of Honour stands as a reminder to James IV of Scotland that poetry casts a powerful light upon the arts of rule.
