AN EVERYMAN'S LIBRARY POCKET POET.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the publication of his first book of poems in 1786, Robert Burns--the twenty-seven-year-old son of a farmer--became a national celebrity, hailed as the \"Ploughman Poet.\" When he died ten years later, ten thousand people came to pay their respects at his funeral, and in the two centuries since then he has inspired a cultlike following among Scots and poetry lovers around the world. A pioneer of the Romantic movement, Burns wrote in a light Scots dialect with brio, emotional directness, and wit, drawing on classical and English literary traditions as well as Scottish folklore--and leaving a timeless legacy. All his most famous lyrics and poems are collected here, from \"A Red, Red Rose,\" \"To a Mouse,\" and \"To a Louse\" to \"Tam o'Shanter,\" \"Holy Willie's Prayer,\" and \"Auld Lang Syne.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEveryman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eROBERT BURNS was born on January 25, 1759, in South Ayrshire, Scotland, and died in 1796. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGERARD CARRUTHERS is Francis Hutcheson Chair of Scottish Literature at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, and the editor of the Everyman's Library Pocket Poets \u003ci\u003eScottish Poems \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eRobert Burns.\u003c\/i\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 255\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.74 x 6.44 x 4.45 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 09, 2007\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46662101696709,"sku":"9780307266163","price":27.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/h6dTTsqhsI9780307266163.webp?v=1785914898","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/burns-poems-edited-by-gerard-carruthers-hardcover","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
