Muriel Spark burns bright on Burns Night
Professor Willy Maley outlines how Muriel Spark was influenced by Robert Burns. Originally published Tuesday 23 January 2018
‘[Muriel Spark] observes that … “Some of [Burns’s] most successful love songs present the girl’s point of view” … citing the bawdy verse “Wha’ll mow me now”, she comments drily: “If this is difficult to decipher, a little imagination will serve the purpose”’
