Title: Poems and Letters in the Handwriting of Robert Burns: Reproduced in Facsimile Through the Courtesy of William K. Bixby and Frederick W. Lehmann by The Burns Club of St. Louis, with an Introduction and Explanatory Notes by Walter B. Stevens
Author: Robert Burns - Robert Burns (also known as Robbie Burns, Rabbie Burns, Scotland's favourite son, the Ploughman Poet, Robden of Solway Firth, the Bard of Ayrshire and in Scotland as The Bard) was a Scottish poet and lyricist. He is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland and is celebrated worldwide. Burns is the best known of the poets who have written in the Scots language, although much of his writing is also in English and a light Scots dialect, accessible to an audience beyond Scotland. He also wrote in standard English, and in these his political or civil commentary is often at its bluntest.
