Burns is an icon, but he is a flawed one. The great bard was fond of drink, women and over familiar with Edinburgh’s underworld. He was often conflicted with crippling self-doubt about his talents and bitter about his place in society. During the short time in Edinburgh, Burns had dealings with the infamous Deacon Brodie; was struck by inspiration and failed by his muse; and, fell in love with two unavailable women and bedded many more than that. While never straying from accepted Burns’ history, this remarkable novel imagines the life of Burns’ in those months to discover the flesh and blood man behind the legend.”,”url”:”https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/190630792X/”,”bookFormat”:”http://schema.org/EBook”,”additionalType”:”http://schema.org/PDF”,”fileSize”:”11 MB”,”accessibilityFeature”:[“login required”,”member access only”],”accessibilitySummary”:”PDF version available to authenticated members only.
