| Abstract
|
:
|
This text restores the long marginalised Scottish poet Robert Burns to his rightful place as a major poet of the 18th century & Romantic period. It discusses his education as a farmer during the revolutionary period of 'improvement' in 18th-century Scotland, decision to write 'Scots pastoral' poetry, & influence on Wordsworth and Coleridge.
