Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of Robert Burns The Life of Robert Burns has employed the pen of so many biographers of acknowledged ability, that little remains for a new writer but to make a judicious selection from existing materials, and to pronounce an equitable judgment on a remarkable man, the complex character of whose genius and life demands a calm consideration, equally remote from patriotic idolatry on the one hand, and Pharisaic severity on the other. In the choice of the materials so richly provided by Currie, Walker, Cunningham, Chambers, Douglas, and others, I have been guided by a desire to combine variety of situation with strongly pronounced aspects of character; and, as a matter of course also, have allowed the poet, both in his verse and in his prose, to be as much as possible his own portrait painter.
