The Scottish poet Robert Burns has been idolised and eulogised. He has been sainted, painted, tarted-up and toasted. He is famous as the author of 'Auld Lang Syne', and he has long been the patron saint of the heartsore and the hungover. But what about the poems? Beneath the cult of Burns Nights and patriotic yawps, there is the work itself, among the purest and most truthful created in any age. This is a Burns collection like no other, introduced, arranged and contextualised by the award-winning novelist and essayist Andrew O'Hagan. Above all, it is an accessible edition made for the pleasure of reading that brings Burns' timeless work to full, riotous, colourful life.

Excerpt from Robert Burns: With Twelve Illustrations Fully set forth by Dr. Charles Rogers in his Book of Burns, 1891. The poet's paternal descent was from a line of tenant-farmers in Kincardineshire, which can be traced back to the beginning Of the seventeenth century. A varying tradition that the first Kincardineshire ancestor was a fugitive Argyllshire Walter Campbell, who adopted the name Burnhouse - afterwards changed to Burness - from the place Of his birth or his new resid ence, is hardly reconcilable with ascertained facts.

Excerpt from Selections From the Poems of Robert Burns In the character of Robert Bums there is much to love and to honor, and much to pity and to blame. His genius was recognized even during his life, and it made the Ayrshire farmer welcome in the highest Edinburgh society. But his social disposition, and the very love in which he was held among the people, led him into all kinds of excesses and dissipations. William Burnes, the father of the poet, was an honest, hardworking farmer, of an intelligence superior to the average of his class. He was a man of strong religious convictions, and was held in the highest esteem and reverence by his son, who honors his memory in that beautiful picture of ideal domestic peasant life, "The Cotter's Saturday Night." Robert Burns was born in 1759, in a humble two-roomed cottage on the banks of the Doon, near the town of Ayr - "Auld Ayr, wham ne'er a town surpasses, For honest men and bonie lasses."

Excerpt from Robert Burns The Poetic life of Robert Burns belongs to the whole world, for his nature was as boundless and brilliant as the stars and the sorrow and disappointment that filled his earthly career find a forgiving sympathy in the hearts of mankind. I take the liberty of translating the vernacular of the Celtic dialect found in the poems of the Bard into plain English, which has never before been done, and endeavor to retain his intention and sense, at the technical expense of the rhyme. This contribution to literature is a rambling, truthful, eloquent lecture upon the salient points in the personal and poetical life of Burns.

Excerpt from The Poetry of Robert Burns, Vol. 1 Burns's verse falls naturally into two main divisions. One, and that the larger, appeals with persistency and force, on the strength of some broadly human qualities, to the world in general: for the reason that the world in general is rich in sentiment but lacks the literary sense. The other, being a notable and lasting contribution to literature, is the concern of comparatively few. The present Edition of Burns's verse is primarily addressed to the second of these two bodies of readers. Of necessity, however, it is as nearly complete as existing canons of taste will permit; and 'tis hoped that it will prosper, though for different reasons and on different grounds, with both sections of what, after all, is one, and that a world-wide, public.
