Tweedie wrote that ‘It is difficult to fix the dates of the totally different letters with precision’, however their contents show that the order wherein he printed them will not be chronological. Modern scholarship on Melville dates back to David Laing’s 1826 reprint of the 1603 textual content of Ane Godlie Dreame in Scottish Metrical Tales, reissued by Carew Hazlitt in 1895 as Early Popular Poetry of Scotland. Since then, Melville’s name and poetry have been repeatedly talked about and discussed in scholarly work on Early Modern Women.

All successive editions (thirteen are identified of in all, right down to 1737) followed this textual content.

Like all the book’s song texts, it’s unattributed. Forbes’s error-strewn textual content cannot have been copied from the text printed eighteen years earlier at Aberdeen in Raban’s Godly Dream. Tweedie does not mention that in 1817, Sharpe had printed a ninth letter from Melville to Livingstone, prefacing it with the observation that, like Samuel Rutherford, John Livingstone ‘carried on an epistolary correspondence with all the distinguished feminine lovers in Scotland, and I’ve seen many letters … Tweedie also included the texts of the eight holograph letters addressed to Livingstone by Elizabeth Melville, explaining that these had been transcribed by their original collector, the antiquary Charles Kirkpatrick Sharpe.

The success of the Dreame was such that Charteris issued a third edition in 1606. In these editions, and in Andro Hart’s version of 1620, the Dreame was adopted by a ‘comfortable song’ in five stanzas, starting ‘Away vaine warld’, lengthy mis-attributed to the great court-poet Alexander Montgomerie (d.1598). Apart from her correspondence, different sources give clues to her community and contacts, in December 1609 Alexander Hume, minister of Logie, linked “elder Lady Elizabeth Melville, Lady Comrie” with Marie Stewart, Countess of Mar in his will, wishing them both “love, Christian affection, and blessing”.
