Robert Burns: A Life by Ian Mcintyre
The most highly acclaimed modern biography of Scotland's most famous poet reissued for the 250th anniversary.
The biography of Burns-- Ian Hamilton
If you read Burns, then buy this. If you don't read Burns, then start. -- Andrew Marr * Economist *
McIntyre transports you absolutely into the world of his subject. A shrewd, clear, comprehensive and wonderfully readable portrait of Burns as fallible man and gifted poet. -- A.C.Grayling * Financial Times *
This biography is a major achievement, not least because the author has managed something not usually the norm in Burns scholarship - impartiality. This is a remarkable book. -- Nigel Williams * Daily Mail *
