Travers and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Robert Burns" by John Campbell Shairp is a biographical account written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the life and legacy of the renowned Scottish poet Robert Burns, exploring his struggles, successes, and the cultural context that shaped his remarkable output. Shairp aims to provide a comprehensive glimpse into Burns' character and genius, highlighting the deep interest and affection that people have for the poet even decades after his death. The opening of the book introduces us to Burns' early life, set against the backdrop of Ayrshire, depicting his birth in a humble cottage and the challenging circumstances faced by his family. Shairp emphasizes the integrity and devotion of Burns’ father, William Burness, and the nurturing yet modest lifestyle that framed the poet’s formative years. As the narrative progresses, we see the influence of his environment, including the strong familial bonds and intellectual aspirations fostered by his parents, which ultimately lead to Burns’ initial foray into poetry spurred by his youthful love experiences. This opening sets the stage for an exploration of how Burns’ early struggles with love, ambition, and societal expectations would shape his poetic voice and his later encounters with fame in Edinburgh.
