poet

Poet: Three ‘wives’ at least six lovers and, at the time, he loved them all dearly. A poet, an entertainer and a swashbuckling excise man who was rejected by high society and survived a treason trial. This romantic, to an extent fictional, adventure based on the life and loves of Robert Burns, is set against a backdrop of Scotland, in the late eighteenth-century. It draws on the life and loves of a unique writer and poet while recognises an amazing intellect, adventurer, charmer and a loveable philanderer. Robert Burns (1759 - 1796); his works embrace all the emotions and assiduously deal with events of his day. Much has been written about his fabulous legacy and is indeed recognition of the profundity of the works. These knowledgeable interpreters have contributed to assisting in understanding the many subtle and sometimes not so subtle thoughts of the great man. This book does not. This is a celebration of the personality. The loves. The man. The man for a' that an' a' that.
