Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Burns Day in Detroit: Being a History of the Movement for a Burns Statue in Detroit and a Full Account of the Unveiling Ceremony Detroit has to be congratulated 011 now possessing a worthy monument to the Poet of Humanity, Robert Burns. This has been made possible by the splendid work of the Detroit Burns Club which culminated in the unveiling of the beautiful statue in Cass Park on the afternoon of Saturday, July 23rd last. I think it is a splendid idea to publish a souvenir book commemorative of the event, especially as this will make available to admirers of Burns throughout the world, the wonderful addresses which were delivered by the learned gentlemen who participated. The small part which it was my good fortune to perform at the unveiling exercises will ever be a source of pleasant memories to me. While congratulating the Burns Club on the splendid success achieved, I cannot but feel that the lion's share of the credit belongs to Mr. Edward Goodwillie, president of the Club. The indefatigable way in which he worked for this statue for a number of years entitles him to the highest credit. With all the discouragements with which he had to contend since the proposal to build the monument was started, many men would have been disheartened, but regardless of storm or sunshine he steadily persevered. Surely if Scotch tenacity was ever demonstrated more fully than in the work which Mr. Goodwillie did in connection with this statue, it would be difficult to find. It is always necessary to have one captain to a ship, and he certainly was the "man at the helm" in this case. May this book, as it goes on its journey, be a bond between Detroit lovers of Burns and the millions who worship at his shrine in all parts of the world.

Download or read book Literature and Union written by Gerard Carruthers and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-05 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literature and Union opens up a new front in interdisciplinary literary studies. There has been a great deal of academic work—both in the Scottish context and more broadly—on the relationship between literature and nationhood, yet almost none on the relationship between literature and unions. This volume introduces the insights of the new British history into mainstream Scottish literary scholarship. The contributors, who are from all shades of the political spectrum, will interrogate from various angles the assumption of a binary opposition between organic Scottish values and those supposedly imposed by an overbearing imperial England. Viewing Scottish literature as a clash between Scottish and English identities loses sight of the internal Scottish political and religious divisions, which, far more than issues of nationhood and union, were the primary sources of conflict in Scottish culture for most of the period of Union, until at least the early twentieth century. The aim of the volume is to reconstruct the story of Scottish literature along lines which are more historically persuasive than those of the prevailing grand narratives in the field. The chapters fall into three groups: (1) those which highlight canonical moments in Scottish literary Unionism—John Bull, 'Rule, Britannia', Humphry Clinker, Ivanhoe and England, their England; (2) those which investigate key themes and problems, including the Unions of 1603 and 1707, Scottish Augustanism, the Burns Cult, Whig-Presbyterian and sentimental Jacobite literatures; and (3) comparative pieces on European and Anglo-Irish phenomena.
