Robert Burns: The Patriot Bard by Patrick Scott Hogg
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 415 KB
Overview: Following the 250th anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns (1759-96), Patrick Scott Hogg presents the greatest of Scotland’s poets within the true context of his times. Exploding the Burns myth, Robert Burns: The Patriot Bard replaces the ram-stam lad of popular cliché with the real, living Burns – a Scottish patriot of the heart, an idealist who wished for ‘Freedom and Liberty’ for his beloved country, but also a man who was pragmatically a British patriot and risked his life for democratic reform. Here Burns is painted in his native colours as a highly complex, hyper-intelligent writer in both prose and poetry, not the semi-confused, contradictory simpleton of previous biographies. The fascinating legend of Burns as a ladies’ man is placed where it should be – as less important than the message of the bard.
