(William Arber-Brown) 07006768 Highland Mary: The Romance of a Poet A Novel Produced by Tim Lindell and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Highland Mary: The Romance of a Poet" by Clayton Mackenzie Legge is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book centers around Robert Burns, a renowned Scottish poet, and his poignant relationships, particularly with Mary Campbell, known as Highland Mary, as well as Jean Armour. It weaves historical and fictional elements to portray the romantic and often tumultuous life of Burns, capturing themes of love, duty, and artistic ambition. The opening of the novel sets the stage in a quaint Scottish cottage where Mrs. Burns, Robert's mother, is preparing for an evening meal while two local characters, Tam O'Shanter and Souter Johnny, add comic relief with their jests and hearty complaints about life. As the surroundings are rendered in rich detail, the impending arrival of Robert, who has been away in Irvine, creates a sense of anticipation. In these early pages, the groundwork for the relationships among the characters is established, hinting at the complexities of love and the contrast between Robert's aspirations as a poet and the practicalities of farm life, foreshadowing the emotional and narrative developments to come.
