CHAPTER VIII EIGHTEENTH CENTURY. HIS sketch of Scottish literature and Scottish writers T might have concluded with the preceding chapter, for, with the exception of Alexander Wilson and Carolina Qliphant, it contains no writer of any extraordinary merit. It certainly contains no epoch writer who has influenced the destinies of the national literature in any other direction than that in which the tendency had already been determined. By itself considered, the rise and growth of Scottish literatur0 is almost as remarkable a historical phenomenon as the rise and growth of Scottish philosophy, which has already been noticed in the course of this sketch. Like Scottish philo­ sophy, too, in the process of national development it has not been without influence on British literature in general. The principal distinction between the two, however, is that Scottish philosophy has made itself felt in a more marked degree beyond the confines of Great Britain; but without further generalisation I shall. proceed to deal with. the few remaining writers and poetasters who followed in the wake of Bums. One of the first names which. falls to be mentioned here is that of Gavin Turnbull. The exact date of his birth and death cannot be given, but he first became known to the 6 publi ~ as an author in 1788. He was the son of a dyester from Hawick, and .was born at Kilmarnock, where he was apprenticed to the trade of a carpet weaver. From want 0£ inclination rather than capacity he does not seem to have become p~oficient in his trade, and rather than exert himself to improve his position, he lived in the meanest fashion, without furniture or any domestic comforts, content to squat on a bed of straw. He was not naturally idle, for he had a large store of intellectual energy, but spent too much time in writing verses, and studying and reciting Shakespeare, which ultimately induced a passion for the stage. In course ., of time he moved with the rest of his family from Kilmarnock to Glasgow, where, in 1788, he published a volume of poetical 'I .essays, which has long disappeared past recall. , I If report is correct, the loss may be deemed a misfortune, 1 •' i for the work had the reputation of being of more than ordinary I• mE-rit. It is not certain whether Turnbull came to realise 11:,,,, I that a casual litterateur in anything but the first ranks was but a lean and hungry profession, but it ended by his going n 'i -0n the stage to disport himself behind the footlights.

As recently as the 2015 UK General Election, the Scottish branch of the right-wing populist United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) attempted to win the hearts (if not the minds) of Scottish voters by producing posters emblazoned with lines from Burns’s ‘The Dumfries Volunteers’;1 while, previously, the opposing Scottish Nationalist Party strategically launched an electoral campaign on the poet’s birthday (Tempest 2005). Contests were also waged over Burns’s presumed political leanings during the 2014 Scottish Referendum, as he was variably cast as a Unionist or Nationalist across several media outlets (Maddox 2012).

  • The Silver Tassie
    The Silver Tassie MY BONIE MARY An old Jacobite ballad rewritten by the Bard. A silver tassie is a silver goblet and the Ferry which is mentioned in the poem is Queensferry, now the site of the two bridges which span the Forth, a short distance from Edinburgh. Go fetch to me a pint 0' wine, And fill it in a silver tassie; That I may drink before I go, A service to my bonie lassie: The boat rocks at the Pier 0' Leith, Fu' loud the wind blaws frae the Ferry, The ship rides by the Berwick-Law, And I maun leave my bonie Mary. maun = must The trumpets sound, the banners fly The glittering spears are ranked ready, The shouts 0' war are heard afar, The battle closes deep and bloody. It's not the roar 0' sea or shore, Wad mak me longer wish to tarry; Nor shouts 0' war that's heard afar- It's leaving thee, my bonie Mary! Afion Water This is a particularly lovely piece which is always a great favourite when sung at any Bums gathering. It refers to the River Afion, a small river, whose beauty obviously greatly enchanted the Bard.

  • RBWF Burns Chronicle Index
    A Directory To the Articles and Features Published in “The Burns Chronicle” 1892 – 2005 Compiled by Bill Dawson A “Merry Dint” Publication 2006 The Burns Chronicle commenced publication in 1892 to fulfill the ambitions of the recently formed Burns Federation for a vehicle for “narrating the Burnsiana events of the year” and to carry important articles on Burns Clubs and the developing Federation, along with contributions from “Burnessian scholars of prominence and recognized ability.” The lasting value of the research featured in the annual publication indicated the need for an index to these, indeed the 1908 edition carried the first listings, and in 1921, Mr. Albert Douglas of Washington, USA, produced an index to volumes 1 to 30 in “the hope that it will be found useful as a key to the treasures of the Chronicle” In 1935 the Federation produced an index to 1892 – 1925 [First Series: 34 Volumes] followed by one for the Second Series 1926 – 1945. I understand that from time to time the continuation of this index has been attempted but nothing has yet made it to general publication. I have long been an avid Chronicle collector, completing my first full set many years ago and using these volumes as my first resort when researching any specific topic or interest in Burns or Burnsiana. I used the early indexes and often felt the need for a continuation of these, or indeed for a complete index in a single volume, thereby starting my labour. I developed this idea into a guide categorized by topic to aid research into particular fields.

Bums understood the spirit and the politics of the fledgling United States. He studied the battles of both ideas and infantry. Check your knowledge of American history against Bums's. These few lines from his "Ballad on the American War" trace the Revolution from the Boston Tea Party, through the Colonists' invasion of Canada, the siege of Boston, the stalemated occupation of Philadelphia and New York, the battle of Saratoga, the southern campaign and Clinton's failure to support Cornwallis at Yorktown.

    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 311 1st International Symposium on Education, Culture and Social Sciences (ECSS 2019) Robert Burns and A Red Red Rose Xiaozhen Liu North China Electric Power University (Baoding), Hebei 071000, China. [email protected] Abstract. Robert Burns is a well-known Scottish poet and his poem A Red Red Rose prevails all over the world. This essay will first make a brief introduction of Robert Burns and make an analysis of A Red Red Rose in the aspects of language, imagery and rhetoric. Keywords: Robert Burns; A Red Red Rose; language; imagery; rhetoric. 1. Robert Burns’ Life Experience Robert Burns (25 January 1759 – 21 July 1796) is a Scottish poet and lyricist. He is one of the most famous poets of Scotland and is widely regarded as a Scottish national poet. Being considered as a pioneer of the Romantic Movement, Robert Burns became a great source of inspiration to the founders of both liberalism and socialism after his death. Most of his world-renowned works are written in a Scots dialect. And in the meantime, he produced a lot of poems in English. He was born in a peasant’s clay-built cottage, south of Ayr, in Alloway, South Ayrshire, Scotland in 1759 His father, William Burnes (1721–1784), is a self-educated tenant farmer from Dunnottar in the Mearns, and his mother, Agnes Broun (1732–1820), is the daughter of a Kirkoswald tenant farmer. Despite the poor soil and a heavy rent, his father still devoted his whole life to plough the land to support the whole family’s livelihood.
