Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Complete Works of Robert Burns (Self-Interpreting), Vol. 5 We have made a somewhat radical departure from our previous current arrangement, in this volume; inasmuch as we have lifted The Poet´s Correspondence with Clarinda and with George Thomson entirely out of the chronological sequence of his works, and treated them as distinct episodes, rounded and complete in themselves, - adding to these his Remarks on Scottish Ballads and Songs, his two Commonplace Books and the record of the Gleuriddell MSS., now in the Athenaeum Library, Liverpool. The advantage of this arrangement will be manifest, because it simplifies the current stride in the record of his writings, poetry and prose, as carefully traced in the other five volumes, and enables us to give these two important episodes, of love-making with Clarinda, and song-making for Thomson, a rounded history and a perfect setting by themselves. We have, in order to make the Thomson correspondence more valuable and attractive, copied from his collection the music, which he published in his original work, of all the songs published, written or revised by Burns. In a work treated in chronological order, the difficulty of dealing with the Common-place Books which, of course, duplicate many of his earlier pieces, was a stumbling-block to our satisfaction, but, by placing them in kindred company with the Bard´s Remarks on Scottish Ballads and Songs, in this volume of "Specialties," has relieved our difficulty, and, we believe, will give satisfaction to our readers.
