While recent scholarship has usefully positioned Burns within the
context of British Romanticism as a spokesperson of Scottish
national identity, Robert Burns and Transatlantic Culture considers
Burns's impact in the United States, Canada, and South America,
where he has served variously as a site of cultural memory and of
creative negotiation. Ambitious in its scope, the volume is divided
into five sections that explore: transatlantic concerns in Burns's
own work, Burns's early publication in North America, Burns's
reception in the Americas, Burns's creation as a site of cultural
memory, and extra-literary remediations of Burns, including
contemporary digital representations. By tracing the transatlantic
modulations of the poet and songwriter and his works, Robert Burns
and Transatlantic Culture sheds new light on the circuits
connecting Scotland and Britain with the evolving cultures of the
Americas from the late eighteenth century to the present.
