Reviews

The biography of Burns.If you read Burns, then buy this. If you don't read Burns, then start. - EconomistMcIntyre transports you absolutely into the world of his subject. A shrewd, clear, comprehensive and wonderfully readable portrait of Burns as fallible man and gifted poet. - Financial TimesThis biography is a major achievement, not least because the author has managed something not usually the norm in Burns scholarship - impartiality. This is a remarkable book. - Daily Mail
