The Scots Musical Museum is perhaps the core canonical collection
of Scottish song, with over 200 of its 600 songs claimed for Robert
Burns. This is the first research edition of the Scots Musical
Museum in its entirety in over two centuries, and the first ever
edition of the first edition of any kind, unearthing hundreds of
previously unacknowledged variants between the first and 1803
editions. It will claim that up to fifty songs should be removed
from the Burns canon. It is a landmark text for understanding the
history and development of Scottish song and music. A full and
detailed introduction sets out the social, textual, musical and
historical context in which Robert Burns and James Johnson worked,
while extensive notes on the songs provide a detailed history and
context of each one, and a brief critical analysis of some of the
most famous of these songs. There is a comprehensive glossary
based, where available, on contemporary dictionary definitions and
ample appendices. The items included here have never before been
published complete together.
