Recensioner i media

Reading the essays together amply demonstrates the diverse ways in which Burns's poems and songs have been reimagined in performance since the eighteenth century, from the folkloric to the operatic, the national to the global. [...] Appealing to Burns scholars, the essays will be of interest to anyone interested in authorship and adaptation, performance and legacies of any hue.
