The complete works of Robert Burns

A complete volume of the writer's poetry and songs includes previously unpublished pieces, draws on extensive scholarship and Burn's own letters, and offers supplemental information about his life, early hardships, political beliefs, and literary contexts.

"A magnificent and definitive work of scholarship. A thousand pages long, it provides not only a glossary and a context for the poems, but also a textual and historical note for each poem and song." - * The Independent *

"A very fine edition, and the long introduction, which sets out to clear the tangled banks, is alone worth the cover price." - * The Scotsman *

"Scholarly and comprehensive." - * Sunday Telegraph *
