Tam o' Shanter (1791) by Robert Burns | Analysis & Commentary

Welcome to Ear Read This! I’m Ash, and on this channel I combine in-depth literary analysis with casual book reviews and discussion of a wide range of texts from Ovid to Sylvia Plath. Along with detailed episodes of the ERT podcast you’ll find reading updates, reactions to bookish news and my daily Poem of the Day series. Special areas of interest include Plath, Scottish (and in particular, Edinburgh) literature, Shakespeare and bird books. S3E29 (25/01/21) It's Burns Night! And to celebrate, here's an episode all about the Caledonian Bard's witch tale, Tam o' Shanter. Tune in for a discussion of Burns in Edinburgh, the folk tale origin of his story and the poem's sumptuous use of rhyme. With apologies to Scottish accents everywhere. Sound Bite: Burns..
