Recenzii
Scrupulously academic ! A definitive survey of the present state of Burns Studies ! Taken together, these essays provide enormous stimulation for readers familiar with Burns, who will go back to the poems with new insights from every essay. What sets this collection apart from its predecessors is that many of these studies, taken individually, provide benchmark accounts to which teachers will send students as starting points for their own essays on particular aspects of Burns's work. -- Robert Irvine, University of Edinburgh The Byron Journal The Scotsman Books of the year: Writers' choice Readable, bite-sized, and fresh introductions to an admirably eclectic range of Burns-related topics. -- Christopher Whatley The Scotsman The Edinburgh Companion is a sprightly collection of new essays well edited by Gerard Curruthers ...
