The Well of the Silent Harp deur James Barke. 1st ed 1954. H/C with jacket. 351 pp.

The fifth and concluding novel in James Barke's series of novels based on the life of Robert Burns.

This novel about the life and loves of the famed poet Robert Burns tells of his years of fulfilment, a burgeoning not only of his poetry but of his philosophy, hardened in maturity by the radical influences then sweeping the country. The passions of his younger years are all but spent. The loves that burnt so fiercely flicker and go out, all except his abiding love for the immortal Jean.
