0.04 sec. |
Douglas, Gavin (or Gawin) (c. 1475–1522)Scottish poet. He translated into Scots Virgil's Aeneid (1513), including the thirteenth book added by Maffeo Vegio. He wrote the allegorical The Palace of Honour (c. 1501). His language is more archaic than that of some of his predecessors, but Douglas had fire and a power of vivid description and his allegories are ingenious.
