Devils, witches and evil - the insubstantial but terrifying world
of the supernatural as it was seen by Robert Burns and his
contemporaries is examined in this new book, brought out for the
250th anniversary of the poet's birth. Several of Burns' poems
dealt with the supernatural, the most famous of which, "Tam o
Shanter", is examined in detail. It is from this poem that the
book's title comes: 'And roars out, "Weel done, Cutty-sark!" And in
an instant all was dark And scarcely had he Maggie rallied When out
the hellish legion sallied.' In contrast with the 'other world' was
the everyday lives of the country people and the nature of the
material world in which they lived; the book also examines this and
the changes that were taking place in Burns' time.
