The Edinburgh Companion to Robert Burns provides both a
comprehensive introduction to and the most contemporary critical
contexts for the study of Robert Burns. Detailed commentary on the
artistry of Burns is complemented by material on the cultural
reception and afterlife of this most iconic of world writers. The
biographical construction of Burns is examined as are his relations
to Scottish, Romantic and International cultures. Burns is also
approached in terms of his engagements with Ecology, Gender,
Pastoral, Politics, Pornography, Slavery, and Song-culture, and
there is extensive coverage of publishing history including Burns's
place in popular, bourgeois and Enlightenment cultures during the
late eighteenth century. This is the most modern collection of
critical responses to Burns from scholars from the United Kingdom
and North America, which, more than ever before, seeks to place
Burns as a 'mainstream' man of Enlightenment and Romantic impetus
and to explain the enduring and sometimes controversial fascination
for both the man and his work over more than two hundred years. Key
Features *Modern critical approaches to Burns: including readings
