Om författaren
Robert Burns, a Scottish poet, was born in Alloway, Ayrshire, Scotland, on January 25, 1759. He received little formal education, but he enjoyed reading and he became familiar with the writings of such authors as Dryden, Milton, and Shakespeare. Burns worked long hours with his father, a tenant visa mer farmer. The frustration of watching his father's struggles on the farm is said to have inspired his satirical poetry. When his father died in 1784, Burns moved the family to the farm Mossgiel about one mile north of the town of Mauchline. Here he continued to work as a farmer and to write poetry. In 1786 Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect was published, which described the existence of the Scottish peasant. Burns's popularity was immediate, if short-lived. After a brief period of fame in Edinburgh, Burns returned to Ayrshire. Burns married Jean Armour in 1788. They moved first to a farm in Ellisland, then to Dumfries, where Burns worked as a tax inspector. In addition to his poetry, Burns is well known for his songwriting. He worked with James Johnson on a project to revise old Scottish tunes and created some new songs of his own. Some favorites include Auld Lang Syne, To a Mountain Daisy, and Tam o' Shanter. Robert Burns died of rheumatic fever on July 21, 1796, at the age of 37. (Bowker Author Biography) visa färre

Denna kärlekspoesi är heller ingen dålig sak, må vara att skotskan stundom ställer stora hinder i vägen. Kunskaper i nordiska språk hjälper en smula, men en liten ordbok skulle varit till mycken glädje. Den rustika poesin går dock fram väl ändå: det är mycket unga vackra skotska flickor, älskande par som struntar i föräldrar och fattigdom, flickor som längtar efter pojken som måst gå in i armén och liknande, även om mer påtaglig tragik också förekommer ibland. Denna sorts ämnen har väl numera hamnat helt i händerna på schlagermakare, men Burns hanterar det väl, som i A red, red rose. Här finns också sådant som engelskans stora allsång, Auld lang syne, och mer dryckesviseartade saker som O guid ale came, och hans kanske för detta ändamål lite väl långa men mycket roliga variant av John Barleycorn , som handlar om hur tre kungar står efter det arma kornets liv, och hugger av honom vid fötterna, slår honom mör, dränker honom i vatten, hivar omkring honom, rostar honom över eld, och krossar honom mellan kvarnstenar, men
John Barleycorn was a hero bold,
Of noble enterprise;
For if you do but taste his blood,
'Twill make your courage rise.
'Twill make a man forget his woe;
'Twill heighten all his joy;
'Twill make the widow's heart to sing,
Tho' the tear were in her eye.
Then let us toast John Barleycorn,
Each man a glass in hand;
And may his great posterity
Ne'er fail in old Scotland!
Även den förra delen har en del trevliga saker insprängda bland all tillfällighetsdikt: bland annat den lilla dikt om den stackars mus vars hus förstördes av plogen, med raden som Steinbeck sedan tog till titel på en av sina böcker, eller den förtjusande To a haggis, vilket troligen enda gången inälvsmat besjungits av en stor poet.
Som sagt bör man dock inte som jag inskaffa Burns samlade verk: skaffa istället ett gott urval, med ordbok och helst förklarande noter (Burns har uttryckliga jakobitiska sympatier, och dikter om skotska uppror säger troligen inte svenska läsare så mycket). Då kan man få en riktigt trevlig stund i sällskap med en skicklig poet.… (mer)
