(London): Nelson, (1966).

First edition, first printing.

Illustrations and decorations by Elizabeth Corsellis; additional reproductions of photos and paintings printed on coated stock.

Dent sets himself against the uncritical idolaters besotted of their Scots national bard, but not against Burns himself, in this fascinating study of the poet seen against the landscape of Ayrshire in the second half of the eighteenth century.

Fine in textured cinnamon-brown boards with gilt embossed titles and rules to the spine; in a price-clipped, else fine dust jacket.

Octavo; 162 pages; index.
