{"product_id":"scottish-poems-gerard-carruthers-9780307269713","title":"Scottish Poems","description":"In time for Burns Night (the annual celebration of Scottish culture that takes place on January 25, the birthday of Robert Burns)--a sweeping literary tour of Scotland from the Middle Ages to the present, the only single-volume collection of Scottish poetry currently available. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eScottish poetry has a long and distinguished history in three languages--English, Scots, and Gaelic--and all are well represented here. The most renowned and beloved poets--Robert Burns, Sir Walter Scott, Robert Louis Stevenson, Hugh MacDiarmid, and Muriel Spark among them--mingle with their lesser-known but equally distinctive compatriots, including many of those who have emerged from the recent Scottish poetry renaissance. The poems are organized by theme: from matters of the heart to subjects spiritual and philosophical to the poetry of place. All of the verse is marked by a characteristic energy, wit, satire, and passionate lyrical intensity, and all demonstrates the power of art that proudly emanates from, but is never limited by, the place of its birth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gerard Carruthers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 030726971X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780307269713\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Everyman's Library\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/06\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.52h x 4.82w x 0.76d","brand":"Gerard Carruthers","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43946412507391,"sku":"9780307269713","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_da5fe78c-569a-4af5-9c04-ba96481b8534.jpg?v=1681513004","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/scottish-poems-gerard-carruthers-9780307269713","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
