Copertina di Carol McGuirk: Reading Robert Burns (PDF)

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. Mc Guirk 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.
