The Bard: Robert Burns, a Biography Hardcover - 2008
by Robert Crawford
From the rear cover
"Burns was a poetic genius and his life was the stuff of legend. Compelling and timely, this book directs attention to a major poet who has been scandalously neglected in scholarship outside of Scotland for many years."--James Chandler, University of Chicago
"There have been scores if not hundreds of biographies of Burns. In an impressive feat, Crawford has written one that really justifies the claim of providing a new, original account--indeed, I would say it is as close to being definitive as we are likely to get."--Ian Duncan, University of California, Berkeley

Princeton. 2009. Princeton University Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 9780691141718. 480 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Frank Mahood. keywords: Biography Scotland Poetry Literature. FROM THE PUBLISHER - No writer is more charismatic than Robert Burns.
