Although Beattie was a key personality of the time, there has never previously been a complete edition of his works. This collection of Beattie's works in prose and verse brings together for the first time his many-sided contributions, and allows an appraisal of his considerable achievements. His view on literary criticism and belles-lettres, at times anticipating the ideas of the Romantics, appear in the Essays on Poetry and Music and Dissertations Moral and Critical. His contribution to philosophical debate is represented by The Essay on Truth. The set also includes Forbes' Life of Beattie. Beattie's most enduring influence was arguably his poetry, with The Minstrel powerfully affecting Wordsworth and the Romantics. His most important poems are reproduced here in the form in which they were known in the late Eighteenth Century.
