Scottish Poems (Everyman's Library Pocket Poets Series)

In time for Burns Night (the annual celebration of Scottish culture that takes place on January 25, the birthday of Robert Burns)â€”a sweeping literary tour of Scotland from the Middle Ages to the present, the only single-volume collection of Scottish poetry currently available.

Scottish poetry has a long and distinguished history in three languagesâ€”English, Scots, and Gaelicâ€”and all are well represented here. The most renowned and beloved poetsâ€”Robert Burns, Sir Walter Scott, Robert Louis Stevenson, Hugh MacDiarmid, and Muriel Spark among themâ€”mingle with their lesser-known but equally distinctive compatriots, including many of those who have emerged from the recent Scottish poetry renaissance. The poems are organized by theme: from matters of the heart to subjects spiritual and philosophical to the poetry of place. All of the verse is marked by a characteristic energy, wit, satire, and passionate lyrical intensity, and all demonstrates the power of art that proudly emanates from, but is never limited by, the place of its birth.
