Combining encyclopedic information as well as a critical guide to
the poetry of Robert Burns, this work attempts to show the complex
nature of this supposedly uncomplicated poet. Born a farmer's son
in 1759, Burns lived through many of the most important events of
his century. The work is divided into six sections. Part I places
Burns in context with a chronology, "The Burns Circle" and a
topography. Part 2 looks at the Burnsian issues of religion,
politics, philosophy, drink, drama and sex. Part 3, an essay on
Burns as a poetic phenomenon, is sure to provoke debate about the
relevance of Burns to his time and ours. The fourth and longest
section of the book examines 25 poems, 18 verse epistles and 26
songs as well as commenting on the letters, political ballads and
Common Place Books. A select bibliography and four appendices are
followed by a glossary of Scots words and indices of poems and
names.
