Summary "Pride and Passion: Robert Burns, 1759-1796" by J. De Lancey Ferguson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the life and character of Scottish poet Robert Burns, capturing the complexities of his personality against the backdrop of 18th-century Scotland. Ferguson aims to explore who Burns was beyond the clichés often found in biographies, focusing on his relationships and the socio-political climate of his time rather than a strict chronological narrative. The opening of the work establishes the tumultuous social context in which Robert Burns lived and created his poetry. It details Scotland's state as a region grappling with poverty, political subjugation, and a struggle for cultural identity following the Union of 1707. The author critiques how many biographies overlook the vibrant reality of Burns’s life, emphasizing instead the blandness of traditional accounts. Throughout this introduction, themes of pride and passion emerge as crucial elements of Burns's character, setting the stage for a deeper examination of both his life experiences and the impact of his surroundings on his creative output.
