"Robert Burns" by Gabriel Setoun is a biographical account examining the life and works of the famous Scottish poet, written in the late 19th century. This volume is part of the "Famous Scots Series" and aims to provide an insightful depiction of Burns's personality through his writings, as well as through the events and influences that shaped his life. It delves into his humble beginnings, his education, and the intricate relationships that influenced his poetics, ultimately presenting a vivid portrait of the cultural landscape of his time. At the start of this biography, the author discusses the autobiographical nature of Burns's poetry, emphasizing how it serves as a mirror to his personal experiences, moods, and the societal context of his life. The narrative outlines Burns's early years, detailing his family background, particularly the influence of his parents, William and Agnes Burness, and their vital contributions to his education and moral framework. Setoun highlights the struggles the family faced due to poverty and poor farming conditions, setting the stage for Burns's later aspirations and poetic endeavors, including his early experiences with love and ambition that would later stir his creative genius.
