THE BURNS FEDERATION SONG BOOK This book contains twenty of the finest of Burns's songs, the texts· of which have been taken from the best sources and scrupulously edited, with glossaries and notes on pronun­ ciation. Some of the tunes are those to which Bums wrote the words, and others are ones which have been traditionally associated with them. They are all suited to the range of a child's voice, and the accompaniments are straightforward and musically satisfying. It has been specially prepared for use in schools, but should also be of interest to all admirers of Bums. Piano Edition, 7s. 6d. Write to the Publishers for copies.

  • Robert Burns and a Red Red Rose Xiaozhen Liu North China Electric Power University (Baoding), Hebei 071000, China
    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.

GLASGOW AND EDINBURGH WILLIAM HODGE & COMPANY 1900 FEINTED BY WILLIAM HODGE & CO. GLASGOW AND EDINBURGH TO THE ornCEES AND MBMBBES OF tbe Kostbery Burns €lub — : TO THE READER This volume contains the best of the early critical Reviews on Robert Burns. Many of these reviews are difficult to obtain at this date, and I feel confident that the student, as well as the lover of Burns, will appreciate the bringing of them together in this handy and accessible form. The first notice accorded to the poet is not included in the collection, as it contained little of a strictly critical character. It was printed in the Edinburgh Magazine for October, 1786, and opens with the query " Who are you, Mr. Burns ? Will some surly critic say at what university have you been educated? What languages do you understand? What authors have you particularly studied? Whether has Aristotle or Horace directed your taste? Who has praised your poems, and under whose patronage are they published? In short, what qualifications entitle you to instruct or entertain us?" To the questions of such a catechism, perhaps, honest Robert Burns would make no satisfactory answer.

  • 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.
