  • 1. August Angellier in Robert Burns, La Vie, Les Oeuvres, 2 Vols (Paris
    Notes CHAPTER 1 THE EARLY PERIOD: BURNS' INTUITIVE USE OF SCOTTISH TRADITION 1. August Angellier in Robert Burns, La Vie, Les Oeuvres, 2 vols (Paris, 1983) pointed to this when he said: 'But underneath this scholarly poetry there existed a popular poetry which was very abundant, very vigorous, very racy and very original'. See especially p. 14 of Jane Burgoyne's selected translation from Angellier in the Burns Chronicle and Club Directory, 1969. Other portions of the translation appeared in 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973. 2. J. De Lancey Ferguson (ed.) The Letters of Robert Burns, 2 vols (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1931), 1: 106, no. 125. Burns adopted a superior tone here in keeping with the accepted pose of the eighteenth-century man of letters. All references to Burns' letters are to Ferguson's edition. Only letter numbers will be given when the citation appears in the text proper. 3. Most critics and students of Burns take some stance towards his relationship with previous work. Hans Hecht, Robert Burns: The Man and His Work, 2nd rev. ed. (London: William Hodge & Company, 1950), p. 29, suggests that Burns was the culmination of a tradition, but he speaks of a literary rather than a cultural inheritance. 4. See T. S. Eliot, The Sacred Wood (London: Methuen, 1950), pp. 47-59. 5. Angellier earlier suggested this division and I agree with him that Burns' work prior to Edinburgh was dominated by depiction of the world around him. After Edinburgh, Angellier indicates that Burns relied less on the specific incidents and more on general sentiments.

  • Burns Supper Even Before His Death, Poet Robert Burns' Cottage At
    Burns Supper Even before his death, poet Robert Burns’ cottage at Alloway, Ayrshire, had been sold to the incorporation, or guild, of shoemakers of Ayr, one of whose members turned it into an alehouse. It was here, on 29 January 1801 (they got his birthday wrong) that soldiers of the Argyll Fencibles (militia) met to hear their band play – and to use the services of his cottage in its new role. The first recorded Burns Supper took place at Alloway in the same year, but on the anniversary of his death (21st July). It involved a speech and multiple toasts; to eat there was haggis (which was addressed) and, a mercifully lost tradition, sheep’s head; given the social status of those present, refreshment was probably wine and ale rather than whisky. Present were nine friends and patrons of Burns. Among them was a lady, though thereafter the Suppers were mostly (sometimes militantly) all-male affairs until far into the twentieth century: a curious slant on Burns’ own life as well as on the first dinner. The ‘toast to the lasses’ was traditionally thanks for the cooking and an appreciation of the women in Burns’ life, only later degenerating into a sexist (often misogynistic) rant. Celebrations were held twice yearly until 1809 when participants settled on January (25th), because this fell in a slack period of the agricultural year. Commercialisation of his birthplace did little to honour the memory of his life and work, and in 1822 the poet John Keats complained bitterly of how both the ambience and the landlord of the Alloway inn degraded Burns’ greatness.

  • RBWF Newsletter July 2015
    The Robert Burns World Federation Newsletter Issue 16 July 2015 This edition of the Newsletter continues to demonstrate the wonderful work being done by the Federation in promoting the life and works of Robert Burns with the younger generation. It is particularly gratifying to see the enthusiasm of pupils involved in the Primary Schools’ Festival and in a repeat performance of the Burns musical ‘Rabbie’ at the Edinburgh Fringe by St George’s Girls School, Edinburgh. Some very welcome thoughts on promoting Burns in the classroom are presented by a secondary school teacher and hopefully it will evoke a response. The rededication ceremony for the laying of the foundation stone for the Burns Mausoleum in Dumfries, some 200 years after the original event, is deservedly given full coverage.

Although it wasn’t quite “A blethering, blustering drunken blellum”, it was a convivial gathering of celtic folks from the UWM and the celtic community. Ian Day, from the St Andrew’s The Caledonian Dancers society, enlivened the proceedings with his delightful recitation of Burns’ Tam o’ Shanter. The Caledonian Dancers, led by Reuel Zielke, danced their lovely legs off and there were tunes from Randy Gosa and Bret Lipschutz. Celtic Studies Faculty shared their favorite ghost stories and there were Halloween treats for all. Píobaire na Rinceoirí A showing of “Boy Eats Girl”, a new movie about zombies in the Dublin suburbs, brought a modern twist to the otherwise traditional festivities.The evening concluded the award ceremony to honor those who dressed up for the evening. Costumes included devils and highlanders as well as a full-size penguin suit. In this Edition: In the Community ..........

  • Burns' Night Burns' Night Celebrates the Life and Work of Robert Burns and Scottish Culture in General
    Burns' Night Burns' Night celebrates the life and work of Robert Burns and Scottish culture in general. It is on or around January 25 each year. Burns Night is annually celebrated in Scotland on or around January 25. It commemorates the life of the bard (poet) Robert Burns, who was born on January 25, 1759. The day also celebrates Burns' contribution to Scottish culture. Burns' best known work is "Auld Lang Syne". Haggis, neeps and tatties traditionally eaten What do people do? Many people and organizations hold a Burns' supper on or around Burns' Night. These may be informal or formal, only for men, only for women, or for both genders. Formal events include toasts (Trinkspruch) and readings of pieces written by Robert Burns. Ceremonies during a Burns' Night supper vary according to the group organizing the event and the location. Before the meal a special grace (Tischgebet) is said: Some hae meat and canna eat, Some have food and cannot eat And some wad eat that want it, And there are some who need food. But we hae meat and we can eat, But we have meat and we can eat Sae let the Lord be thankit. And so let us thank the Lord. The evening centers on the entrance of the haggis (a type of sausage prepared in a sheep's stomach) on a large platter to the sound of a piper playing bagpipes. When the haggis is on the table, the host reads the "Address to a Haggis". This is an ode that Robert Burns wrote to the Scottish dish.

Tom Sutherland B urns in Beirut Introduction by Kenneth Simpson: As we know, Burns means many things to many people. For our next speaker, he has a very particular significance. It gives me a great deal of pleasure, and it is an honor, to introduce Professor Tom Sutherland. Born in Scotland, and a graduate BSc. Agriculture, of Glasgow University, he was no mean footballer or perhaps we should say soccer. Tom Sutherland made the move which Burns contemplated, that is to say he crossed the Atlantic, he came West. At Iowa State University, he took master's and doctor's degrees, and subsequently became Professor of Animal Science at Colorado State Univer­ sity, Fort Collins, Colorado. In 1983, with his own Bonnie Jean, he moved to the American University of Beirut as Dean of Agricultural and Food Sciences. The rest I think we may say is a remarkable personal history of immense heroism. Burns celebrated heroism, Burns suffered adversity, not on the scale that Tom Sutherland did.

Not even Shakespeare is remembered so personally with an annual birthday celebration. It's in the spirit of the lasting inspiration of Scotland's National Poet that we invite you to celebrate Burns Night. We've outlined the elements of a traditional Burns Supper below, but invite you to consider giving it a modern twist by incorporating a contemporary menu or playing modern interpretations of Burns songs. Whisky, of course, is a mandatory part of any Burns Supper and eminent whisky writer Charlie MacLean has given recommendations to accompany both the traditional and the nouvelle suppers. IMMORTAL MEMORY He spoke from the heart to the heart. He makes you laugh, he makes you cry. Note the change to the present tense.
