What made Burns read, and what impact did his reading choices have on him as a man and a writer? This meticulous and detailed study presents a Burns 'open to different ideas', and 'making use of them in his life and work'. The poet's extensive reading is traced through his family and early education experience, French studies (particularly of Fenelon), and exposure to novels (notably the works of Smollett, Sterne and Mackenzie) and periodicals. A key theme explores Robert Burns in relation to Romanticism. Appendices include a piece on parallels in the work of Diderot and Burns, and a list of the authors and books read by the poet. As Professor Kenneth Simpson says in his Foreword, this is '..original research made readily accessible'."

Excerpt from Life of Robert Burns With Murdoch we learned to read English tolerably well, and to write a little. He taught us, too, the English Grammar. I was too young to profit much by his lessons in grammar, but Robert made some proficiency in it, a circumstance of considerable weight in the unfolding of his genius and character; as he soon became remarkable for the fluency and correctness of his expression, and read the few books that came in his way with much pleasure and improvement, for even then'be was a reader when he could get a book. Murdoch, whose library at that time had no great variety in it, lent him 'the Life of Hannibal, ' which was the first book he read (the school books excepted), and almost the only one he had an opportunity of reading while at school for The Life of Wallace.

Harvard Professor of English William Allan Neilson is the author of the biographical novel "Robert Burns: How To Know Him". Robert Burns was a Scottish poet and lyricist. He is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland and is celebrated worldwide as the best known of the poets who have written in the Scots language, although much of his writing is in a "light Scots dialect" of English, accessible to an audience beyond Scotland. The novel gives his background and the various events of his life that inspired and shaped his poetry such as the books he read early on in life, freemasonry and politics. In particular, it gives a record of his famous love affairs with various women that inspired him to compose some of his well-known love poems.
