A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Life of Robert Burns has employed the pen of so many biographers of acknowledged ability, that little remains for a new writer but to make a judicious selection from existing materials, and to pronounce an equitable judgment on a remarkable man, the complex character of whose genius and life demands a calm consideration, equally remote from patriotic idolatry on the one hand, and Pharisaic severity on the other. In the choice of the materials so richly provided by Currie, Walker, Cunningham, Chambers, Douglas, and others, I have been guided by a desire to combine variety of situation with strongly pronounced aspects of character; and, as a matter of course also, have allowed the poet, both in his verse and in his prose, to be as much as possible his own portrait painter.

Biographie de l'auteur :

Catherine Carswell's (1879-1946) friendship with D.H. Lawrence was kindled by her favorable review of "The White Peacock" (1911). They met in 1914 and their relationship lasted until Lawrence's death in. In 1916 she and Lawrence exchanged manuscripts of "Open the Door!" and Women in Love. Her novel was completed in 1918 and won the Melrose Prize on publication in 1920. Her other novel, "The Camomile," was published two years later, after which she devoted herself to "The Life of Robert Burns," which made her name in 1930. This was quickly followed by a biography of Lawrence, "The Savage Pilgrimage" (1932). She worked with John Buchan's widow on his memorial anthology, "The Clearing House" (1946) and on her own autobiography, which was published, incomplete, as "Lying Awake" in 1950. Carswell died in Oxford at the age of 66.
