Robert Burns Works
A hardback copy of Robert Burns' works, Volume I, from 1866, is a lovely and potentially valuable piece of literary history.
Here's a breakdown of what makes it special:
Robert Burns: Burns is Scotland's national poet, celebrated for his poetry and songs, often written in Scots dialect. His work is beloved for its romanticism, social commentary, and celebration of Scottish culture.
1866: This year is significant. It places the book within a specific historical context – the Victorian era. While not a first edition (Burns died in 1796), it's still an early printing and holds considerable historical and literary value.
Hardback: Hardback editions from this era are more durable and generally considered more collectible than paperbacks.
Collectability: Early editions of Burns' works are collectible. The value depends on the edition, its condition, its completeness (if part of a set), and any special features (e.g., illustrations, bindings).
