A Weaver in Wartime: a life of Robert Tannahill 1774-1810

Zusatztext

In the most thorough and complete study of Paisley poet Robert Tannahill's life and work yet undertaken, Ferguson reveals much about one of Scotland's best but little known songwriters whose work deserves to be widely known. This book explores Tannahill's poetry, songs, life and literature in more depth than any other book to date. We find Tannahill's curiosity about Irish literature and song, his deep interest in Scottish literature, his friendships and role as a founding member of the Paisley Burns Club explored and explained in one volume as never before.
