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.

This book was released on 2024-02 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Robert Burns treats the extensive writing of and culture surrounding Scotland's national 'bard'. Robert Burns (1759-96) was a producer of lyrical verse, satirical poetry, in English and Scots, a song-writer and song-collector, a writer of bawdry, journals, commonplace books and correspondence. Sculpting his own image, his untutored rusticity was a sincere persona as much as it was not entirely accurate. Burns was an antiquarian, national patriot, pioneer of what today we would call 'folk culture', and a man of the Enlightenment and Romanticism. The Handbook considers Burns's reception in his own time and beyond, extending to his iconic status as a world-writer. Burns was important to the English Romantic poets, in the context of debates about Abolition in the US, in the Victorian era he was widely utilised as a model for different kinds of popular poetry and he has been utilised as a contestant in debates surrounding Scottish and, indeed, British politics, in peacetime and in wartime down to the present day. The writer's afterlife includes not only a large number of biographies but a whole culture of commemoration in art, architecture, fiction, material culture, museum-exhibition and even forged manuscripts and memorabilia as well as appearances, apparently, via Spiritualist seances. The politics of his work channel the fierce debates of late eighteenth-century Scottish ecclesiastical controversy as well as the ages of American, Agrarian and French revolutions. All of this ground is traversed in this Handbook, the largest critical compendium ever assembled about Robert Burns.
