  • November 2020
    ‘The Vision’ The Robert Burns World Federation Newsletter Issue 47 November 2020 I have decided to give the newsletter the title of ‘The Vision’ as a nod to Burns’s poem of that name in which he bemoans the lack of recognition for poets from his native Ayrshire. His vision involves the appearance the muse Coila. However, the critic David Daiches remarked that ‘the poet does not quite know what to do with her when he brought her in.’ In composing this edition of the newsletter, I felt much the same as I didn’t know what I was going to do about the lack of copy which normally flows in unsolicited from around the world. Fortunately, my colleagues on the Board came up trumps and offered various leads for suitable material. It is a pleasure to report on a very successful Tamfest which explored Burns’s famous poem Tam o’ Shanter in great depth. The importance of music in relation to Burns also comes across strongly with a couple of articles highlighting his continuing influence on contemporary performers.

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.

  • A Bibliography of Robert Burns for the 21St Century: 1786-1802
    A Bibliography of Robert Burns for the 21st Century: 1786-1802 Craig Lamont 2018 Introduction THIS WORK will provide the beginnings of an overdue renewal into the bibliographical study of the main editions of Robert Burns. The aim is to provide comprehensive details, especially concerning the contents of the editions, which have been generally overlooked by previous bibliographers. It is hoped that this new methodology will benefit future researchers and readers of Robert Burns. The work is linked with the AHRC- funded project, ‘Editing Robert Burns for the 21st Century’ at the University of Glasgow, currently producing the multi-volume Oxford Edition of the Works of Robert Burns. Following the first phase of the work, further research was kindly funded by the Royal Society of Edinburgh through a Small Research Grant: ‘The Early Editions of Robert Burns, 1786-1802: towards a new descriptive bibliography’ (PI: Lamont), opening up the possibility for consultations in other collections. The principal reference in constructing this bibliography is J. W. Egerer’s A Bibliography of Robert Burns (1964). Other bibliographies, catalogues, books, and articles relative to this area will also be consulted, and any insights gained from these will be noted throughout. While Egerer’s chief aim in his bibliography ‘is to emphasize the first appearances in print of Burns’s writings,’ this work seeks to provide comprehensive details about each main edition, as well as renewing or correcting previous or outdated assumptions about first appearances and authorship of certain poems and songs. The method for doing this was refined over time, but the end result is hopefully easy to follow, especially with the focus on the contents, ie.
