Official synopsis Publisher
The poems of Robert Burns are known throughout the world, but are rarely understood. For too long lovers of his poetry and songs have struggled with the meaning of many of the bard’s words. Following the success of George Wilkie’s Select Works of Robert Burns, this expanded volume of Burns’s poetry, with 138 poems, captures the same ethos as the original.
Opposite every stanza of each poem the meaning of what Burns has written is printed along with a helpful glossary to enable to reader to gain an immediate understanding. No delving into notes at the end of the book is necessary. This is a major development in access to the works of Burns and is the only book on his works that allows the reader such immediate access to the poems’s meaning.
