Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Burns and Folk-Song "There is nothing new or mysterious in Burns," says Professor Elton, "except his perfection." The valuation, just in the broadest sense, can be stated with still greater economy. Save that it was individual and peculiar, Burns's perfection was not new. There had preceded him descriptive poets, narrative poets, satiric poets, lyrical poets - all of whom were and are worthy of being classed as perfect by reason of one or more of their poems. In none, however - if we agree to exclude Shakespeare - was perfection so mysterious in its origin or so faithful to its own high standard. That perfection, and not, as some would have it, his personal imperfections, real or imaginary, is the secret of his immortality; its mystery the secret of the world's persistent concern. The biggest brain in Scottish national literature is undoubtedly Scott's, but we do not celebrate his birth at every anniversary; most of us have forgotten the date of his entry into the world, if, indeed, we ever knew it. But Scott was an imperfect, a tantalisingly imperfect, genius; Burns was, when he liked, the unerring master of his art.
