Product Description
Product Description
Robert Burns, the most celebrated of all Scottish poets, is remembered with great devotion - his birthday on 25th January provokes fervour and festivity among Scots and many others the world over. Born in 1759 into miserable rustic poverty, by the age of eighteen Burns had acquired a good knowledge of both classical and English literature. In June 1786 his first collection of verse, Poems Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect, which included To a Mouse and The Cotter's Saturday Night, was greeted with huge acclaim by all classes of society. His later poems and ballads include Auld Lang Syne, the beautiful song My Love is like a Red Red Rose, Highland Mary, Scots Wha Hae and his masterpiece, Tam o'Shanter.

poetic genius,
By
This review is from: The Collected Poems of Robert Burns (Wordsworth Poetry Library) (Paperback)
The poetry and rhyme of Robert Burns is indeed an ideal companion for any time, but I found it especially satisfying to peruse this collection in the summer months. At 560 pages it is, to the best of my knowledge, complete and contains all well known works of the poet. For a volume of this size the soft paper cover feels a little flimsy, but it has survived my reading its entirety with only a minor, unnoticeable, crease on its back.

I can operate a Xerox machine better than this,
By Elisabeth Elliot - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Works of Robert Burns (Paperback)
This is a poor, sloppily bound mess. Seems to be a Xerox copy of only the second volume (not even the fourth as is indicated) of the sixth edition of an 1809 four volume collection. Some of the pages are not even copied straight. Compiled with no notes, no glossary, no thought or imagination. Only contains some of Burns' letters containing some of his poetry. Worthless without context. Would be an insult to my shelves and certainly to the Bard. I should have been tipped off by the sophomoric product description. Back it goes.
