Thornton J ames Currie's Editing of the Correspondence of Robert Bums The best known letter of Burns edited by James Currie in Volume One is the autobiography addressed to Dr. John Moore.! Unlike almost every other person suggested for the task of editing, Currie could have had the posted letter itself. Apparently he never accepted Moore's offer of it. Not interested in collating and without the time and the space even if he were, Currie had in Liverpool what he needed to go on confidently. "There are" he tells his read­ ers: Various copies of this letter, in the author's- hand-writing; and one of these, evi­ dently corrected, is in the book in which he copied several of his letters.

    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this work seeks to provide comprehensive details about each main edition, as well as renewing or correcting previous or outdated assumptions about first appearances and authorship of certain poems and songs.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.

    Fifteen Songs of Robert Burns

    FIFTEEN SOMGS OF ROBERT BURNS LOIS G. WILLIAMS B. A., University of California, 1963 A MASTER'S REPORT suijmltted in partial fulfillioent of the requirements for the degree V MASTER OF ARTS Department of English KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 1966 Approved by: .tl^±Scmierv^^ Major Professor The great fascination vlth £olk song ^ilch began In the eighteenth century and grew to gigantic proportions in the twentieth con8taxU;ly seeks new avenues of interest. Ei^teenth-century collectors and editors amassed large collections of songs. Although the collector was concerned with the antiquity of a song, he was inclined to edit elements of "barbarista." Collectors of the twentieth century, on the other hand, have been concerned with tracing the genealogies of songs, with establishing the ''authenticity" of words or tune. As everyone knows, a folk song must be very old, must betray no polished literary skill, and must certainly be anonymous. Contenqiorary collectors would probably disregard the songs o£ Robert Bums, since, after all, they are not really old, are not works of an unskilled literary hand, and are not even sanctified by anonymity. A song has two equally important elemeots: words and noisic. Until recently, song collectors have been primarily Interested in words because of the difficulties in tracing old tunes which are caused by notational problems and absence of historical records. In the divorce of these two elements, as Gavin Greig points out, both have suffered: Taken apart from the music the words have come to be judged mainly by literary standards. But 'good is good for what it suits'; and the words of a song being intended for singing cannot fairly be judged apart from the music.

    Robert Burns

    Classic Poetry Series Robert Burns - poems - Publication Date: 2004 Publisher: PoemHunter.Com - The World's Poetry Archive Robert Burns (1759-1796) Burns, sometimes known as the 'ploughman poet', was the eldest son of a poverty-stricken farmer. Though his father had moved to Ayrshire, where Burns was born, in order to attempt to improve his fortunes, he eventually died as a bankrupt - after taking on first one farm and then, unsuccessful, moving to another - in 1784. Robert, who had been to school since the age of six, and was also educated at home by a teacher, had, by the age of fifteen, already become the farm's chief labourer. He had also acquired a reading knowledge of French and Latin and had read Shakespeare, Dryden, Milton and the Bible. After his father's death, he and his brother continued farming together, working now at Mossigiel. The poverty of Burns' early life, though far from being overcome, had produced in him a supporter of the French Revolution and a rebel against both Calvinism and the social order of his time. His rebellious nature soon became evident in his acts. Burns' first illegitimate child was borne to him by Elizabeth Paton in 1785. Two sets of twins later followed, and various amorous intrigues, from Jean Amour, whom he afterward married. It was also during this period that Burns' first achieved literary success. Though he had thought of emigration to Jamaica as a possible way to avoid his mounting problems, he published his Poems Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect on July 31 1786 at Kilmarnock.

CHALLENGING EDITORIAL PRACTICE IN THE PRESENCE OF AUTHORIAL ABSENCE Murray Pittock The Scots Musical Museum is arguably the underpinning canonical text of Scottish song, the place where the country’s leading poet meets its great musical tradition in a “mouseion,” a temple of the Muses, which is also a Museum, a collection of antiquarian fragments. This six volume collection of the songs of Scotland was produced by James Johnson and Robert Burns, with the help of Stephen Clarke and many others, in the years 1787-1803. Although it was apparently a collection which was to serve as a “museum” for Scottish song, it was in fact in many respects less Scottish and less antiquarian than it appeared. The Museum took advantage both of the extensive market in song across the British Isles in the eighteenth century, and also of the new market in pianofortes which was being opened up in Edinburgh and elsewhere in the 1780s by John Broadwood (1732-1812) and others: pianos began to appear in Edinburgh music shops only three years before the first volume of the Museum appeared. Collections were ‘pianoized’. As David McGuinness points out, the bass line of Neil Gow’s “Lament for James Moray of Abercairney” had turned from a lamenting drone to a piano accompaniment between the 1784 and 1801 editions. Many of the traditions of Scottish song that the Museum seemed to be preserving were themselves novelties: what had been “new” reels in Neil Stewart’s 1761 Collection and its successor collections, were “old” less than a generation later.

He had also acquired a reading knowledge of French and Latin and had read Shakespeare, Dryden, Milton and the Bible. After his father's death, he and his brother continued farming together, working now at Mossigiel. The poverty of Burns' early life, though far from being overcome, had produced in him a supporter of the French Revolution and a rebel against both Calvinism and the social order of his time. His rebellious nature soon became evident in his acts. Burns' first illegitimate child was borne to him by Elizabeth Paton in 1785. Two sets of twins later followed, and various amorous intrigues, from Jean Amour, whom he afterward married. It was also during this period that Burns' first achieved literary success. Though he had thought of emigration to Jamaica as a possible way to avoid his mounting problems, he published his Poems Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect on July 31 1786 at Kilmarnock.
