I know some Scots, but not nearly enough to truly appreciate it when Burns uses it, at least without using the glossary in the back. I preferred his poems about Scottish independence, the wars, and the generally snarky ones. I tried to find as many of the songs as I could online so I could get a better feel for them, and I definitely recommend reading these out loud or finding narrations of them. Sometimes when you read them aloud, you can understand the Scots better because the spellings don't throw you off. ( ) On a trip to Scotland I couldn't help myself and bought a second hand copy of R.Burns' poems. Written in Scottish dialect, it made the whole experience more complete, giving an expressive freshness to the Scottish Landscape. His most famous song "Auld Lang Syne" was a joy to read, tradition and lyricism giving insight to the rural life of the time. A gem for those who have come to love Scotland, as I do. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
This selection gives equal weight to the two aspects of Robert Burns's reputation, as a lyricist and as a much-loved Scottish poet. Placing works in probable order of composition, it includes lyrics to his most well known songs, such as the nostalgic Auld Lang Syne, the romantic A Red, Red Rose, and the patriotic Scots What Hae. As a poet, Burns wrote with deceptive simplicity and imaginative sympathy, and demonstrated enormous range - from comic dramatic monologues such as Holy Willie's Prayer, which mocks hypocrisy, to narratives including the celebrated Tam O' Shanter, about the ghostly visions of a drunk.
