Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This extensive study of poetry offers a profound critical appreciation of the celebrated poet Robert Burns. It opens with biographical commentary and analysis of the trajectory of Burns' career as a writer before examining his individual poems. The author investigates the poet's language, style, and subject matter, discussing both his comedic and earnest verse. The analysis then expands to consider Burns' place within the wider context of 18th-century poetry, particularly in relation to such literary giants of the era as Lucian and Shakespeare, whose forms and themes the author demonstrates Burns adapted for his own ends with great skill. The book concludes with a discussion of the reputation Burns has acquired in the years after his death, placing him firmly among the canon of great poets and exploring how his influence continues to shape the work of those writing today.
