This book provides a critical study of the relationship between
Robert Burns and the United States of America, c.1786-1866. Though
Burns is commonly referred to as Scotland's "National Poet", his
works were frequently reprinted in New York and Philadelphia; his
verse mimicked by an emerging canon of American poets; and his
songs appropriated by both abolitionists and Confederate soldiers
during the Civil War era. Adopting a transnational, Atlantic
Studies perspective that shifts emphasis from Burns as national
poet to transnational icon, this book charts the reception,
dissemination and cultural memory of Burns and his works in the
United States up to 1866.
