Description

Explore a deep reassessment of Robert Burns (1759-1796) in this scholarly work from Oxford University Press. Often regarded as the most original poet in the British Isles between Pope and Blake, Burns created the first modern vernacular style in British poetry. Despite his status as Scotland's national poet, he has often been marginalized in global English literary studies due to incorrect assumptions about his language. In Robert Burns and Pastoral, Nigel Leask challenges these views. The book provides a fresh interpretation of Burns's poetry, moving beyond the idea that his work is only for Scottish readers or linguistically incomprehensible. Instead, it presents his writing as an innovative and critical engagement with his era. This text is an essential resource for students and readers interested in late eighteenth-century Scotland and the evolution of British poetry.
