Blind Hary

... Wherein the Old Obscure Words are Rendered More Intelligible, ... By William Hamilton. To which is Annexed, The Life and Martial Atchievements of that Valiant Hero, Robert Bruce King of Scotland. By John Hervey

A New Edition of the Life and Heroick Actions of the Renown'd Sir William Wallace

Henry (the Minstrel)

The Wallace catalogs the sheer brutality of war. We are regaled with such detailed accounts of the sacking of towns and the burning down of buildings full of screaming inhabitants that the smells and sounds, as well as the terrible sights, of war are graphically conveyed in language which seems designed not only to express Wallace's rage and Hary's antipathy but also to incite hatred of the English in his readers.
