Robert Burns and Transatlantic Culture

By Sharon-Ruth Alker and Leith Davis

The fourteen essays included in Robert Burns and Transatlantic Culture re-orient scholarly understanding of Robert Burns by focusing on the reception and representation of the Scottish poet and songwriter in the Americas. Divided into five sections, the volume explores: transatlantic concerns in Burns's own work; Burns's early publication in North America; Burns's reception in the Americas; Burns's creation as a site of cultural memory; and extra-literary remediations of Burns, including contemporary digital representations.
