Burns’s prose letters, arranged as his general correspondence, the impassioned exchange with Agnes McLehose under the names Sylvander and Clarinda, and his long collaboration with George Thomson on Scottish songs. Farming worries, Edinburgh society, excise work, debts and family affairs all appear alongside his thoughts on poetry and his own reputation.
Burns in his own unguarded voice, essential for anyone who loves the poems and wants the man behind them. Download the free EPUB.
