Allan Ramsay

    Allan Ramsay fut un poète écossais et une figure littéraire marquante du début des Lumières. Bien qu'il ait commencé sa carrière comme perruquier, son amour profond pour la littérature le poussa à composer de la poésie et à fonder des sociétés littéraires. Ramsay est surtout célébré pour ses recueils de chansons et de vers écossais, qui ont joué un rôle essentiel dans la préservation du patrimoine littéraire de la nation. Son travail éditorial a fait le lien entre auteurs écossais médiévaux et modernes, influençant les collecteurs ultérieurs de littérature traditionnelle.
