Poems in Scots and English (Everyman's Library) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book is part of the "Everyman" series which has been re-set with wide margins and easy-to-read type and includes a themed introduction, a chronology of the life and times of the poet, annotations, a glossary of Scots words and selected criticism. This collection of Burns's poetry contains a variety of themes: the rollicking satire of hypocrisy; the pictures of life among the rural poor; the swift sympathy for fellow creatures. This book adds poems that were not in the first collection, including "Holy Willie's Prayer" (omitted for fear of libel) and the later "Tom o'Shanter".
