Lyle, Kathleen
- Abstract
The article offers an answer to a query on the discomfiture referred to in the poem "On the Whig Discomfiture at Dundee" posted in the June 13, 1863 issue of the periodical "Notes and Queries." Topics discussed include the portrayal of the Jacobite takeover of Dundee, Scotland in September 1715 in the poem, attribution of the dialect forms in the verses to northeast Scotland, and possible role of the poem as a parody of Presbyterian Whigs by a Jacobite author.
