The perfect gift for poetry lovers, this is a comprehensive collection of the Scottish Bard's songs and poems. The 19th-century scholar and educationalist J. S. Blackie summed up Burns importance to Scotland and the Scots with the words: 'When Scotland forgets Burns, then history will forget Scotland'. Today, Burns is unique in the affection and fascination that his memory inspires. The fruits of his legacy can be seen not only in Scotland but around the world — on product packaging, in advertising and on a wealth of merchandise, as well as through continued scholarship and academic study.

Описание:
The most essential of the immortal poems and songs of Scotland's beloved national bard are collected in this volume. With the publication of his first book of poems in 1786, Robert Burns — the twenty-seven-year-old son of a farmer — became a national celebrity, hailed as the Ploughman Poet. When he died ten years later, ten thousand people came to pay their respects at his funeral, and in the two centuries since then he has inspired a cultlike following among Scots and poetry lovers around the world. A pioneer of the Romantic movement, Burns wrote in a light Scots dialect with brio, emotional directness, and wit, drawing on classical and English literary traditions as well as Scottish folklore — and leaving a timeless legacy. All of his most famous lyrics and poems are here, from A Red, Red Rose, To a Mouse, and To a Louse to Tam o'Shanter, Holy Willie's Prayer, and Auld Lang Syne.
