| Publisher Description: This book collects essays and talks about Robert Burns by the Burns scholar G. Ross Roy (1924-2013). Along with introductions to such well-known Burns poems as "Tam o' Shanter" and "Auld Lang Syne," it includes essays discussing Burns's attitudes to the French Revolution, politics, and religion, his love-letters to Clarinda, The Merry Muses of Caledonia, poems written about Burns, and the editing of Burns's works. The volume opens with some autobiographical reflections about his encounters with Burns that Ross Roy recorded shortly before his death, and it concludes with an illustrated interview about his six decades as a Burns collector and some of the treasures in the G. Ross Roy Collection, at the University of South Carolina. |
