    Originally published in 1938, this book contains a biography of the Scottish poet Sir David Lyndsay, who played an important role in the events leading to the collapse of the Scottish Church in 1560. Murison reviews Lyndsay's life, poems, and relationship with the clergy, as well as examining whether Lyndsay's critique of the Roman Catholic Church was well founded in the light of more recent information. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Scottish literature or Scottish Christianity.
