Produktbeschreibung

Robert Burns is Scotland's greatest cultural icon. Yet, despite his continued popularity, critical work has been compromised by the myths that have built up around him. McGuirk focuses on Burns's poems and songs, analysing his use of both vernacular Scots and literary English to provide a unique reading of his work.
