Book Synopsis Robert Burns in Edinburgh by : Jerry Brannigan
Download or read book Robert Burns in Edinburgh written by Jerry Brannigan and published by Waverley Books Limited. This book was released on 2015-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today Robert Burns is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland, and people all over the world annually celebrate Burns Night on 25 January. Famous now for Auld Lang Syne, Scots Wha Hae, and A Man's A Man for A' That, Rabbie inspires Scots to be proud of Scotland. When he arrived in Edinburgh in November 1786 Burns was unknown, but within days the 'Ploughman Poet' was the talk of the capital, mixing in a circle of wealthy and important new friends. Edinburgh was changing quickly and it was the time of the Scottish Enlightenment, a period of great intellectual and scientific achievement. Burns' experiences during his stay in Edinburgh, including love affairs and fathering illegitimate children, were to influence much of his work to come. His friendship with Agnes 'Nancy' McLehose led to the poem, Ae Fond Kiss, among others. To capture the events of these vital months, three Burns enthusiasts from Glasgow - Jerry Brannigan, John McShane and David Alexander - have newly researched this period in Burns' life for this book. Gain a sense of this fascinating man, city and time by dipping into this book as you stroll through the capital, or by reading it at your leisure. Book jacket.
Book Synopsis Edinburgh Companion to Robert Burns by : Gerard Carruthers
Download or read book Edinburgh Companion to Robert Burns written by Gerard Carruthers and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-25 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Edinburgh Companion to Robert Burns provides both a comprehensive introduction to and the most contemporary critical contexts for the study of Robert Burns. Detailed commentary on the artistry of Burns is complemented by material on the cultural reception and afterlife of this most iconic of world writers. The biographical construction of Burns is examined as are his relations to Scottish, Romantic and International cultures. Burns is also approached in terms of his engagements with Ecology, Gender, Pastoral, Politics, Pornography, Slavery, and Song-culture, and there is extensive coverage of publishing history including Burns's place in popular, bourgeois and Enlightenment cultures during the late eighteenth century. This is the most modern collection of critical responses to Burns from scholars from the United Kingdom and North America, which, more than ever before, seeks to place Burns as a 'mainstream' man of Enlightenment and Romantic impetus and to explain the enduring and sometimes controversial fascination for both the man and his work over more than two hundred years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part travelogue, part diary, part poetry, history and genealogy With an Introduction by Ted Cowan, Scottish historian, University of Glasgow SUMMARY An American poet who, according to family tradition, is related to the iconic poet Robert Burns, embarks upon a life-changing adventure through Scotland to find the lost connections to his immigrant forebears. From Bannockburn to Culloden, Edinburgh to Stirling to Inverness and Skye, Glencoe and Loch Lomond, Glasgow and Dumfries, each page reveals another thread of the lore and the mystery, offering a fresh perspective on the times, the places and the people that are woven into the beautiful tapestry that is Scotland. As an historical snapshot in time, this book will have significant social and cultural relevance for Scotland and the UK in times to come. PRAISE FOR THE GHOST OF RABBIE BURNS "A wonderful book of poetry and a great asset if you are making a trip to Scotland." Duke of Argyll, Chief of Clan Campbell "Laurence is a true sennachie, a genealogist as well as a bard." Ted Cowan, Emeritus professor of Scottish history and literature, University of Glasgow "touchingly sincere and thoughtful... laced with a wry but kindly humour." Isla St Clair, singer and broadcaster "Historically interesting and accurate... a passionate perspective of olden Caledonia." Steve McDonald, composer, Sons of Somerled "an amusing, heartfelt, historical journey that every exile should take. Weel duin, Laurence." Iain H Scott, Scocha "Overmire has captured that idea of the warrior/poet/wanderer so many of us dream of being. We can live the adventure of William Wallace at Stirling Bridge, or the devotion of Greyfriars Bobby, or the heartbreak of Culloden. Whither from your armchair at home with a glass of single malt in your hand, or on the plane ride over for your own first Scottish Adventure, I would highly recommend Overmire's capture of his own 'first trip home'." Eric Bullard, President, Clan Buchanan Society Intl., Inc. "an engaging meditation on Scotland, its history, places and people." Rev. Calum I. MacLeod, Minister of St. Giles' Cathedral, Edinburgh "The imagery evoked in his verse and the moral lessons imparted by Laurence represent the message of Robert Burns for the modern time." Mark Myers, President, Clan Maclean Association of California, USA "Much of Burns' collected works were captured during his tours of Scotland... this book captures the mood very well as a trail through Scotland." Jock Meikle, President of the Burns Club of London "Overmire uncovers the heart of each place he visits and helps us know the very soul of this country." Anita Scott-Philbrick, Ph.D, Deputy Chieftain, Clan Scott Society "Overmire has captured what it is like for those with even a trace of Scottish heritage to long for a connection with their ancestral roots... It is refreshing to view history in the context of poetry." Larry Bardell, President, Oregon Scottish Society "This book is a poetic, informed and sensitive testament to Scotland - its history, its art, its enduring values, its conflicts, and its spirituality." Weeden Nichols, F.S.A. Scot., President, Clan MacLeod Society USA "always with an ear/eye on literary or musical echoes... this poet is interested in connections, not separations." Dr. Keith Hughes, English Literature, University of Edinburgh "The art of painting into words my homeland and its history was well done and should be experienced by all whose blood runs 'Per Mare Per Terras'." Chevalier Dr. Gregory A. McDonald, D.D.S., K.T.J., formerly Ohio Deputy Commissioner, Clan Donald "It's a pleasant book to curl up with on a cold winter's evening in front of the fireplace, or at the beach on a sunny summer day." Margaret Frost, Chairman, Scottish American Society, President, American Clan Cumming Association
