No writer is more charismatic than Robert Burns. Wonderfully readable, The Bard catches Burnss energy, brilliance and radicalism as never before.To his international admirers he was a genius, a hero, a warmhearted friend; yet to the mother of one of his lovers he was a wastrel; to a fellow poet he was sprung . . . from raking of dung; and to his political enemies a traitor. Drawing on a surprising variety of untapped sources from rediscovered poetry by Burns to manuscript journals, correspondence, interviews and oratory by his contemporaries this new biography presents the remarkable life, loves, and struggles of the great poet. Robert Crawford outlines how Burns combined a childhood steeped in the peasant songculture of rural Scotland with a consummate linguistic artistry to become not only the worlds most popular love poet but also the controversial master poet of modern democracy.Written with accessible lan and nuanced attention to Burnss poems and letters, The Bard is the story of an extraordinary man fighting to maintain a sly sense of integrity in the face of overwhelming pressures. This incisive biography demonstrates why Scotlands greatest poet still compels the attention of the world.
