This book is a comprehensive study of renowned 18th century writer Robert Burns, renowned for his unique ability to capture the profound within the seemingly simple. The author delves into Burns's commitment to his native Scottish culture, and his belief in his nation's innate qualities, while remaining critical of its institutions such as the church. Also explored are the many themes that arise in his work, most notably the importance of empathy, the inevitability of social inequality and the inherent dignity of humankind. Touching on Burns's humorous side, the book also brings to light the often overlooked aspects of his work, including his proto-feminism and his consistently radical stance in the face of his nation's conservatism.
