Book Burns the Radical

Download or read book Burns the Radical written by Liam McIlvanney and published by John Donald. This book was released on 2002 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of poet Robert Burns's politics uncovers the intellectual context of the poet's political radicalism. Burns is revealed as a sophisticated political poet whose work draws on the democratic, contractarian ideology of Scottish Presbyterianism; the English and Irish Real Whig tradition; and the political theory of the Scottish Enlightenment. Casting new light on the poet's education and his early reading, this book provides detailed new readings of Burns's major poems and offers research on his links with Irish poets and radicals, providing a major reinterpretation of the man who is coming to be recognized as the poet laureate of the radical Enlightenment.

Book Robert Burns and Pastoral

Download or read book Robert Burns and Pastoral written by Nigel Leask and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2010-07-02 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Burns and Pastoral is a full-scale reassessment of the writings of Robert Burns (1759-1796), arguably the most original poet writing in the British Isles between Pope and Blake, and the creator of the first modern vernacular style in British poetry. Although still celebrated as Scotland's national poet, Burns has long been marginalised in English literary studies worldwide, due to a mistaken view that his poetry is linguistically incomprehensible and of interest to Scottish readers only. Nigel Leask challenges this view by interpreting Burns's poetry as an innovative and critical engagement with the experience of rural modernity, namely to the revolutionary transformation of Scottish agriculture and society in the decades between 1760 and 1800, thereby resituating it within the mainstream of the Scottish and European enlightenments. Detailed study of the literary, social, and historical contexts of Burns's poetry explodes the myth of the 'Heaven-taught ploughman', revealing his poetic artfulness and critical acumen as a social observer, as well as his significance as a Romantic precursor. Leask discusses Burns's radical decision to write 'Scots pastoral' (rather than English georgic) poetry in the tradition of Allan Ramsay and Robert Fergusson, focusing on themes of Scottish and British identity, agricultural improvement, poetic self-fashioning, language, politics, religion, patronage, poverty, antiquarianism, and the animal world. The book offers fresh interpretations of all Burns's major poems and some of the songs, the first to do so since Thomas Crawford's landmark study of 1960. It concludes with a new assessment of his importance for British Romanticism and to a 'Four Nations' understanding of Scottish literature and culture.

Download or read book Scottish Poetry of the Eighteenth Century Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by George Eyre-Todd and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scottish Poetry of the Eighteenth Century, Vol. 1 In compiling these pages use has been made of a number of valuable, if partial, collections, such as Leyden's Scottish Descriptive Poems, Chambers's Songs of Scotland prior to Burns, Paterson's Ayrshire Contemporaries of Burns, Walker's Bards of Bon-Accord, and Harper's Bards of Galloway, to say nothing of the collections of the eighteenth century itself - Ramsay's Evergreen and Tea-Table Miscellany, Herd's Collection, and Johnson's Scots Musical Museum, &c. Independent biographies, contemporary records, and original publications by the poets themselves have, however, in most cases been available. In order to furnish, what has not existed hitherto, a comprehensive anthology of the eighteenth century poetry of Scotland, and to render the bead-roll of the poets as complete as possible, it has been found necessary to extend the work to two volumes.

Book Scottish Poetry of the Eighteenth Century  Vol  2  Classic Reprint

Download or read book Scottish Poetry of the Eighteenth Century Vol 2 Classic Reprint written by George Eyre-Todd and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scottish Poetry of the Eighteenth Century, Vol. 2 Beattie's fame, however, at the present day depends almost entirely on his poem The Minstrel. The first part of the poem, which is also the best, was mostly written in 1768. It appeared in 1770, and the two cantos which comprise the entire work were published together in 1777. The design of The Minstrel, according to its author's preface, was to trace the progress of a poetical genius, born in a rude age, from the first dawning of fancy and reason, till that period at which he may be supposed capable of appearing in the world as a Minstrel. A parallel has been drawn between Beattie's Minstrel and Byron's Childe Harold, both in purpose and style, and there can hardly be any doubt that Byron derived his idea from the elder poet. The Minstrel, in its difficult Spenserian stanza, remains without doubt its author's most individualistic work, and establishes him as the apostle of classical elegance among Scots poets of his day. Some of his odes, especially that on Retirement, possess also much beauty and charm, but they are hardly to be distinguished from similar compositions of Gray and Collins. The last years of the poet, sad to say, were clouded by the darkest of sorrows. His wife, Mary, a daughter of Dr. James Dun, head-master of Aberdeen grammar-school, whom he had married in 1767, became insane. This was an affliction heavy enough in itself, but Beattie was also haunted by apprehensions of a similar fate for his two sons. These, happily, were uno realized, but the elder of the two, a youth of such brilliant promise that he was appointed professor to assist his father at the early age of nineteen, was cut off on the very threshold of his career by another malady, and the younger died not long afterwards. Under his threefold sorrow Beattie gave way to despair; the last three years of his life were passed in hopeless solitude, and under an attack of paralysis he finally succumbed. In 1806 Beattie's life was written by Sir William Forbes, and in 1810 his complete poems were printed by Chalmers in his colossal edition of the poets. The best modern edition is probably that in the Aldine Series. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pride o' a' our Scottish plain; Thou gi'es us joy to hear thy strain, (Janet Little, 'An Epistle to Mr Robert Burns') The 18th century saw Scotland become one of the leading international centres of literature, philosophy, and publishing and yet still retain its lively oral tradition of ballads and poetry. Scottish Poetry, 1730-1830 edited by Daniel Cook contains over 200 poems and songs written in Scots, English, and Gaelic which reflect this vibrant period of literary flourishing.
