Summary "Life of Robert Burns" by Thomas Carlyle is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work delves into the life and highlights of the celebrated Scottish poet Robert Burns, exploring both his external circumstances and the profound impact of his lyrical genius. The book seeks to present a comprehensive image of Burns as an artist and as a man, capturing his struggles and triumphs. The opening of the book presents an editor’s preface that underscores the significance of Robert Burns as a national bard. It outlines that the biography is divided into two parts: the first briefly covers Burns's life, taken from the "Encyclopedia Britannica," while the second part focuses on a deep spiritual portrait crafted by Carlyle. The text reveals Burns's humble beginnings, education, and early influence from his parents and community. It portrays the elements of his formative years, such as his literary interests, early poetic attempts, and eventual rise to prominence as a poet who encapsulated the spirit of the Scottish people.
