Dr Jamie Reid Baxter will be giving a talk about James Melville: the Great Unknown of Jacobean Scotland. James Melville (1556-1614), who was minister of Anstruther and Kilrenny, in Fife, was a noted poet, diarist and writer in the Scots language and is an important source for events in the late 16^th and early 17^th century. He was also nephew to Andrew Melville who was the first great advocate of Presbyterianism in Scotland. Dr Baxter will be sharing some new research on Melville along with a recording of Melvilles religious sea-shanty now performed by Sang Scule. The talk takes place at 5.45pm on Thursday 17 September 2015 at the Edinburgh Bibliographical Society in the Quaker Meeting House, Victoria Street, Edinburgh.
