Henley and Burns is a spirited defense of the life, genius, and achievements of the celebrated Scottish poet Robert Burns. Authored by John Dawson Ross, this collection of papers directly responds to what the author deemed an offensive critique by W.E. Henley. Published in 1901, this book offers valuable insight into the controversies and critical interpretations surrounding Burns' legacy in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Ross meticulously addresses and censures Henley's perspectives, providing a counter-narrative that seeks to uphold and celebrate Burns' contributions to literature. This book serves as both a historical document of a specific literary debate and a testament to the enduring importance of Burns' work. It will appeal to scholars and enthusiasts of Scottish literature, biographical studies, and the history of literary criticism.
