In our time, as in his own, Burns is encountered as recitation, on
stage and screen, in speeches, preeminently as song, and in the
drama and debates surrounding new discoveries and new editions.
Contributors to this imaginative new interdisciplinary collection
bridge the divide between performers and scholars, with readable
but authoritative short essays that will spark interest in all
Burnsians and open up new directions for Burns research.'Patrick
Scott, University of South CarolinaExamines representations of
Robert Burns and his work in a wide range of performance modesThis
book opens up fresh aspects of performance and performativity and
their impact on our perception of Robert Burns and his work.
Bringing together leading experts on music, song, drama, public
ceremonial and literature, it studies Burns as a performed and
performative construct. It explores ways in which he is encountered
as a living author, setting the popularity of his poetry and songs
in the context of his representation in popular culture.
