Though Robert Fergusson published only one collection of poems
during his lifetime, he was a fixture in the Scottish periodical
press. Rhona Brown explores Fergusson's poetic output in its
immediate periodical context, enabling a new understanding of
Fergusson's contribution to poetry that also enlarges on our
understanding of the Scottish periodical press. Focusing on the
development of his career in Walter Ruddiman's Weekly Magazine,
Brown situates Fergusson's poetry alongside contemporary events
that expose Fergusson's preoccupations with the frivolities of
fashion, theatrical culture, the economic status of Scottish
manufacture, and politics. At the same time, Brown offers
fascinating insights into the political climate of Enlightenment
Scotland and shows the Weekly Magazine in relationship to the
larger Scottish and British periodical milieus. She concludes by
exploring reactions to Fergusson's death in the British periodical
presses, arguing that contrary to critical consensus, the poet's
death was ignored neither by his own country nor by the larger
literary community.
