Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a celebration and exploration of the literary genius of Robert Burns, a Scottish poet who lived from 1759 to 1796. The author gives Burns his full due as a writer and humanitarian, showing how his ability to write movingly about love, loss, and revolution made him one of the most important poets in British history. Drawing meaningful connections between Burns' body of work and the rich tapestry of Scottish culture, the author demonstrates what made Burns so revolutionary for his time, particularly regarding his perspective on class and his championship of egalitarianism. Among his many achievements, Burns's gift of language contributed significantly to the development of an independent, specifically Scottish voice in literature.
