Publisher's Synopsis
This work aims to separate the facts from the fiction about Robert Burns's life. The book draws on letters, manuscripts, paintings and artefacts held by the National Museums of Scotland, the National Library of Scotland and the National Galleries of Scotland. It explores the world in which he lived and tells the story of one of Scotland's greatest poets. This text is published to accompany "Pride and Passion", the official Burns exhibition at the Royal Museum of Scotland.
