Abstract
Allan Ramsay uses poetry to attempt to resolve the tension between his discreet Jacobitism and his personal success in post-1707 Britain. He pioneers the encounter of Scottish and English cultures, notably through the invention of a mixed poetic language, neither Scots nor English, but a middle way, a form of poetic diplomacy. Ramsay hoped this would contribute to the consecration of a relative equality between Scottish and English culture, so that the Union, while politically dominated by England, would be also a meeting of peoples, each respectful of the long and rich identity of the other partner.
