  • "The Wife of Auchtermuchty" is a Scots poem of the fifteenth or sixteenth centuries. The poem narrates how a farmer, envious of his wife's apparently easy life, proposes that the couple exchange their normal responsibilities. She will work the fields and he will take care of the home. The wife agrees to the proposal and proves to be quite capable with a plough. Meanwhile, under her husband's supervision, the housework descends into comical chaos. At the end of the day, with some encouragement from his shrewd and strong-willed wife, the husband decides that he has learnt a valuable lesson and will return to his plough. "The Wife of Auchtermuchty" is characterised by physical humour and wry observations on the relationship between husband and wife. In contrast to most of the works of the contemporary makars it concentrates on the life and circumstances of ordinary people. The poem gives a vivid depiction of domestic life in rural Scotland during the late medieval era. (en)
