In The Tycoon and the Bard, well-known Scots actor and Burns expert
John Cairney tells the story of how the richest man in the world
was inspired by Scotland’s greatest poet. Cairney concentrates on
the life of Scottish American industrialist Andrew Carnegie,
arguing that the ideas of the romantic Scottish poet Robert Burns
formed a strong influence on Carnegie from his early education to
the end of his life. The Tycoon and the Bard shows the connections
between these two great Scots, revealing unexpected aspects of each
man’s life and drawing out the chain of influence that Burns’
poetry had on Carnegie’s social beliefs about fortune, fate and
fairness.
