In reviewing, and helping prospective contributors develop, suitable articles to fulfil this mission, the Editor now has the support of an Editorial Advisory Board. Articles submitted for consideration will normally be read both by the Editor for general suitability and by a relevant Advisory Board member or other specialist, who can provide any needed feedback about the submission. Academic contributors whose institutions require that publications be formally refereed should notify the Editor at the time of submission so he can ensure the regular review procedure is appropriately implemented. To allow time for appropriate feedback, contributors are asked to submit articles before June 30 each year for the forthcoming volume. The Editor is always pleased to discuss proposals for articles with potential contributors. The preferred length for full articles is between 1500 and 5000 words, and the Editor also welcomes shorter notes, especially when based on primary source materials. References should be kept simple, and as far as possible included in the text. Contributors are asked to contact the Editor ahead of submission if their proposed article differs significantly from these guidelines.

Burns Chronicle 2014 Advertisement 3 Follow Burns to Irvine for The 2014 Robert Burns World Federation Conference The North Ayrshire town of Irvine will play host to a prestigious event celebrating the life of Robert Burns this year. The Robert Burns World Federation Conference in September 2014 will provide a great opportunity to highlight the key role Irvine played in the development of Burns the poet. Despite spending just a single year in Irvine, there is little dispute that the town and the people he met there made a major impact on the young Burns. His friendship with sea Captain Richard Brown was of particular importance to his growth as a writer and poet. The Captain’s tales of the open sea, exciting voyages and a world with broad horizons were an inspiration to the fledgling writer. All the while, Captain Brown would cajole and encourage Burns to focus on his writing and poetry. The rest, as they say, is history. North Ayrshire Council is working with Irvine Burns Club – the oldest continuous Burns Club in the world – to organise an exciting programme of events to coincide with the Conference. The programme will be supported by Eglinton Burns Club and Irvine Lasses Burns Club. The event was last held in Irvine in 1981 to mark the 200th anniversary of Burns’ arrival in the town and hundreds of Burns enthusiasts from around the world are expected to attend the three-day 2014 conference. Councillor Alan Hill, Cabinet Member for Community and Culture, said: “We are extremely excited to host such a prestigious event. Despite being considered the catalyst for Burns’ creative development, his connection to Irvine is often overlooked. “Many people are unaware of the huge impact his time in Irvine had on Burns – to the extent that many claim he would not have become such an iconic figure had he not set foot in the town.” North Ayrshire Council has already started to bring together a fantastic array of Burns-related events to coincide with the 2014 conference. These will range from exhibitions of Burns-themed artwork from local and international artists to musical events and live performances of some of his works. Bringing the bard into schools provides an excellent opportunity to build on the work already taking place and to broaden Burns appeal to the next generation by teaching youngsters about the poet, his life and his work. 4 Editorial Burns Chronicle 2014 From the Editor It is with considerable honour that I write an Editorial for the first annual Burns Chronicle in over 12 years. Since 1892, the Burns Chronicle has provided Federation members and other subscribers with some of the most important and authoritative research on Robert Burns, his friends and contemporaries, and his influence, together with well-edited transcriptions or reproductions of many original Burns documents. The return to annual volume format allows the inclusion of more, and more substantial, research-based articles than has been possible in a quarterly magazine. Our Board have taken the decision to permanently

  • Scottish Eccentrics
    SCOTTISH ECCENTRICS by HUGH MacDIARMID SCOTTISH ECCENTRICS The distinguished Scottish poet and literary critic who writes this book recalls how Bernard Shaw in On The Rocks ironically declares that the massacres after the Battle of Culloden were not "mur- der" but simply "liquidation," since the slain Scots in question were "incompatible with British civilization." He then surveys the whole field of Scottish biography, and shows how true this has proved of an amazing number of distinguished Scots, no matter how successfully the bulk of the Scottish people have been assim- ilated to English standards since the Union. The facts are irresist- ible and bring out the "eccen- tricity" of Scottish genius in an extraordinary fashion. The author gives full-length studies often outstanding Scottish eccentrics, including Lord George Gordon of the "Gordon Riots"; Sir Thomas Urquhart, the trans- lator of Rabelais', "Christopher North"; "Ossian" (James Mac- pherson, M.P.); James Hogg, the Ettrick Shepherd; and William McGonagall, perhaps the world's best "bad poet". But he supports these leading cases with apt material drawn from the lives of hundreds of Scots of every period in history and every walk of life, and in this way builds up a bril- liant panoramic picture of Scottish psychology through the ages, singularly at variance with all generally accepted views of the national character. 15 S. net By the Same Author Poetry Sangschaw Penny Wheep To Circumjack Cencrastus First Hymn to Lenin, and other Poems A Drunk Man looks at the Thistle Stony Limits, and other Poems Fiction Annals of the Five Senses Translations The Handmaid of the Lord (novel, from the Spanish of Ramon Maria de Tenreiro) Birlinn Chlann-Rhagnaill (poem, from the Scots Gaelic of Alasdair Mac- Mhaighstir Alasdair) Criticism Contemporary Scottish Studies Albyn: or Scotland and the Future Scottish Scene (in collaboration with Lewis Grassic Gibbon) At the Sign of the Thistle etc.

  • 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.
