This book features new essays on Burns' special place in Scottish,
English and Irish literary culture. This volume examines the
innovative and technically accomplished nature of Burns' poetry.
Close readings explore his dialogues with earlier poets such as
John Milton, Thomas Gray, Allan Ramsay and Robert Fergusson and
these sit alongside analyses of the creative responses of his
contemporaries and literary heirs including William Wordsworth,
James Hogg, Thomas Dermody, Hugh MacDiarmid, George Mackay Brown,
Don Paterson and Seamus Heaney. They demonstrate how Burns drew on
Scottish vernacular traditions, English poetry and 18th-century
sentimentalism to create his own, new kind of poetry. The
contributors include leading poet-critics Douglas Dunn and the
award-winning Burns author Robert Crawford alongside experts in
poetry criticism Stephen Gill and Patrick Crotty. It features two
poems written especially for the volume by Bernard O'Donoghue and
Andrew McNeillie.
