Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Truth About Burns This volume is the outcome of many urgent representations from all quarters that the time had arrived for a new Life of Burns in the light of the countervailing evidence which has accumulated during the last quarter of a century. As the general reader with no special leaning to Burns literature is usually at a loss to differentiate between biography and biography, unless on vague suspicions of partisanship, the proposal to add one more to the lengthy list was not alluring. It appeared to us that all that was required was a revisal of the text of the most widely-read biographies, with correcting notes and emendations setting forth the conclusions deducible from the widened field of ascertained facts. But when we began the task, the conviction was forced upon us that, unless presented in their chronological sequence, these textual amendments lost cohesion and consequently much of their biographical value.
