About this ebook
Written as a response to one of the many biographies of Burns, Carlyle's essay is a curious mixture of literary criticism, biography, and assertion of the role of the poet in society. Commissioned by the Edinburgh Review, in the essay Carlyle evaluates Burns as a neglected prodigy, and "one of the most considerable British men of the eighteenth century."
