Synopsis

Thought the catalyst for much of his poetry, Robert Burns' sex life has often been denied, glossed over, even bowdlerized out of recognition. How could a man who revelled so unashamedly in earthy, unending sexual adventures write so tenderly about women and love? How could he father eight illegitimate children, yet conceive that timeless song of faithfulness John Anderson my Jo? Was Robert Burns not so much a conspicuous sinner as a man who sinned conspicuously?
