A complete and challenging edition of the poems and songs of Robert Burns with an extensive introduction on his life and times, his political beliefs, and his fate as a writer too often sentimentalised after his death.
Researched, introduced and edited by Patrick Scott Hoggs and Andrew Noble, with explanatory notes and full of Scots glossary, this edition offers vitally fresh insights into the irreverent spirit and the radical convictions which illuminate the work of Scotland's greatest poet.
