8.20 The Flesh Made Word: 2: A.N. Wilson

The songs of Robert Burns. The Bawdy Made Beautiful
Many of Burns's most acutely observed songs reflect a keen ear for comic bawdry and a deep appreciation of life's lustier pleasures. Under pressure from his publishers, he was later to modify many of those works to conform to more refined tastes, but his flair for comedy never deserted him. Kirsteen McCue retraces the first amorous steps amongst the barley rigs of Burns's native Ayrshire.
