'The Poetic Genius of my Country...bade me sing the loves, the
joys, the rural scenes and rural pleasures of my natal Soil, in my
native tongue.' Many of the poems and songs of Robert Burns
(1759-96) are familiar to readers the world over: lyrical, acerbic,
comic, bawdy, democratic. They include 'To a Mouse', 'John Anderson
my Jo', 'A red red Rose', 'Auld lang syne', 'Tam o 'Shanter' and
many more, whose vernacular energy and simple beauty have ensured
lasting popularity. This generous new selection offers Burns's work
as it was first encountered by contemporary readers, presenting the
texts in the contexts in which they were originally published. It
reproduces the whole of Poems, chiefly in the Scottish Dialect
published at Kilmarnock in 1786, the volume which made Burns
famous; and it reunites a generous selection of songs from The
Scots Musical Museum and A Select Collection of Scottish Airs with
their full scores. Comprehensive notes describe the circumstances
in which other poems and songs found their way into print, both
before and after the poet's death. The edition also includes some
important letters, and a full glossary to explain Scots words.
