Place reservation for Robert Burns : pride and passion : the life, times and legacyRobert Burns (1759-1796) is Scotland's best-known and best-loved poet: an enduring national figure with an international reputation. His life was cut short at the early age of 37, yet his achievement was extraordinary, and a lasting inspiration to his country. Robert Burns: Pride and Passion explore the personality of the poet against the background of the Scotland that he loved - and the parts of it that he loathed. Drawing on a rich collection of sources from Scotland's national institutions and beyond. Gavin Sprott travels forgotten territory and traces the links between Burns the man and how we see him today.
