Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of poems exploring the lives of everyday Scots in the late 18th century. The author, a keen observer of human nature, uses a blend of wit, pathos, and earthy language to depict the joys and sorrows of rural life. We meet a cast of memorable characters, from the humble "Twa Dogs" to the poignant "Poor Maillie," a sheep whose untimely death prompts a heartfelt elegy. The author also engages with societal issues, such as the impact of taxation on the working class, the hypocrisy of religious fervor, and the differing experiences of the wealthy and the poor. The book stands as a vital document of its time, reflecting the social and political landscape of Scotland during a period of significant upheaval. Beyond its historical significance, it offers a timeless exploration of themes like human connection, the search for meaning, and the enduring power of community, making it a poignant and engaging read for audiences today.
