Reviews
"Covering the works of Scottish poets from the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, George S. Christian's Beside the Bard: Scottish Lowland Poetry in the Age of Burns offers a detailed and nuanced review of this important but neglected body of writing, assessing the distinctive contributions of many Scottish poets forced to write 'in the shadow of Burns.' Beside the Bard is a welcome addition to the study of Scottish verse and Robert Burns, for it allows us to hear the unique voices of Lowland Scottish poets and appreciate the long-hidden value of their work." -- Corey E. Andrews * author of The Genius of Scotland: The Cultural Production of Robert Burns, 1785-1834 *
"By examining a group of less well-known poets, this book will interest a constituency of scholars in Scottish studies, and there are stretches where it is impossible not to be impressed with the author's erudition." * Burns Chronicle *
