Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is the first modern attempt to track down how many copies of Robert Burns's first book still survive. Burns's Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect (1786), has long been recognized as one of the world's great books. The 612 copies that were printed in the summer of 1786 by a local printer, John Wilson, in Kilmarnock, Scotland, sold out almost immediately and launched Burns's worldwide reputation as a poet. In time copies of the Kilmarnock, often splendidly rebound to indicate its importance and its growing monetary value, became prized by book collectors on both sides of the Atlantic. The study describes the present appearance of each of the surviving copies, including any inscriptions, and traces, as far as possible, their previous ownership and its significance. In addition, drawing on print and digital evidence for copies previously reported in exhibitions, auctions, bookseller catalogues, and newspapers, the study documents the larger story of public interest in Burns and Burns collecting from the early nineteenth-century to the present day.The book opens with an introduction, by Allan Young, telling how he became interested in the topic and approached the research, summarizing the findings, and listing the most important unlocated copies, which is followed by Patrick Scott's account of how the Kilmarnock was published and how it became a collector's item.

Download or read book Robert Burns in Edinburgh written by Jerry Brannigan and published by Waverley Books Limited. This book was released on 2015-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today Robert Burns is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland, and people all over the world annually celebrate Burns Night on 25 January. Famous now for Auld Lang Syne, Scots Wha Hae, and A Man's A Man for A' That, Rabbie inspires Scots to be proud of Scotland. When he arrived in Edinburgh in November 1786 Burns was unknown, but within days the 'Ploughman Poet' was the talk of the capital, mixing in a circle of wealthy and important new friends. Edinburgh was changing quickly and it was the time of the Scottish Enlightenment, a period of great intellectual and scientific achievement. Burns' experiences during his stay in Edinburgh, including love affairs and fathering illegitimate children, were to influence much of his work to come. His friendship with Agnes 'Nancy' McLehose led to the poem, Ae Fond Kiss, among others. To capture the events of these vital months, three Burns enthusiasts from Glasgow - Jerry Brannigan, John McShane and David Alexander - have newly researched this period in Burns' life for this book. Gain a sense of this fascinating man, city and time by dipping into this book as you stroll through the capital, or by reading it at your leisure. Book jacket.
