Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Not my style of poetry, I found it difficult to follow and enjoy. ( ) I should point out that my two-star rating is not so much because of the poems themselves but the selections in my Phoenix edition. I enjoyed reading Burns, even if the Scots language was sometimes quite challenging to decipher (like Shakespeare, you just have to let it flow over you and pick up the rhythm and tone). But the selection is unfulfilling: 'Tam o' Shanter' is here, as is 'To a Mouse' (you know, "The best laid schemes o' Mice an' Men/Gang aft agley." ). But I can't really recommend a collection of Burns' poetry which omits all of 'A Red, Red Rose', 'A Man's a Man for A' That', 'Scots Wha Hae' and 'Auld Lang Syne'.

Robert Burns (1759-96), was the eldest son of a tenant farmer in Ayrshire. He endured hardship and frustration before emerging as poet and song-writer in his native dialect as well as English. His Poems were published in 1787, and when he received part of the money which the new edition earned for him, he made a number of tours, to the Borders and to the Highlands. Otherwise, apart from a return visit to Ayrshire, he was to spend the winter of 1787-8 in Edinburgh also. Later, he lived in Dumfriesshire and became an Excise Officer. Burns's literary work in the remaining years of his life consists of many outstanding songs, and the poem 'Tam o' Shanter'. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
