The works of Walter Quin

Dubliner Walter Quin first came to prominence at the court of James VI, where he wrote poetry in support of the Stuart succession to Elizabeth I’s throne. Thus began a career in royal service that brought Quin to London, where he continued to produce occasional verse in praise of his patrons and fellow writers as well as biographical texts on the soldier Bernard Stuart (d.1508) and King Henry IV and a neo-Stoic handbook. This is the first edition of Quin’s work and it includes a biographical introduction as well as translations of his non-English texts.
