Robert Burns and the United States of America : poetry, print, and memory 1786-1866
This book provides a critical study of the relationship between Robert Burns and the United States of America, c.1786-1866. Though Burns is commonly referred to as Scotland?s ?National Poet?, his works were frequently reprinted in New York and Philadelphia; his verse mimicked by an emerging canon of American poets; and his songs appropriated by both abolitionists and Confederate soldiers during the Civil War era. Adopting a transnational, Atlantic Studies perspective that shifts emphasis from Burns as national poet to transnational icon, this book charts the reception, dissemination and cultural memory of Burns and his works in the United States up to 1866.

Jacobite History to National Song: Robert Burns and Carolina Oliphant (Baroness Nairne)
Jacobitism during the eras of active rebellion was inherently partisan in its polar oppositions: justice versus injustice, Tory versus Whig, king versus usurper. During the 1790s, Robert Burns and Carolina Oliphant transformed this single-minded party zeal into what they both called \"national song.\" As national poets, Burns and Nairne derived one imperative injunction from the Jacobites, and that was to define resistance as the ground of Scottish national consciousness. McGuirk discusses the Jacobite influence of Burns and Nairnes poetry.
