The poet and actor Gavin Turnbull (1765-1816), a younger contemporary of Robert Burns, published two volumes of poetry in Scotland before emigrating in 1795 to the United States, where he settled in Charleston, South Carolina. This selection draws attention to a neglected aspect of Turnbull's work, his writing in Scots. Drawing on advance research for the first collected edition of Turnbull's poetry, the selection includes verse in Scots from all phases of his career, including poetry in Scots published in America.

With this issue, after many years of annual publication, Studies in Scottish Literature begins pubishing two issues a year. Founded in 1963, as the first refereed scholarly journal in its field, it remains a leading international forum for scholarly discussion and research, in a field of growing iimportance. Edited by Patrick Scott and Tony Jarrells, of the University of South Carolina, with the support of a distinguished advisory board, the journal publishes articles on all periods of Scottish literature. The issue opens with Murray Pittock's W. Ormiston Roy Memorial Lecture, "Who Wrote the Scots Musical Museum?" Full-length articles include: Gerard Lee McKeever on Robert Burns's Tam o' Shanter; Barbara Leonardi on James Hogg's The Brownie of Bodsbeck; Margery Palmer McCulloch on Edwin Muir and War; and Richard Rankin Russell on George Mackay Brown's Greenvoe.

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.

Robert Burns wrote this famous satire on religious hypocrisy in 1785, but he did not include it in his first book Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect (1786) or in any edition published in his life-time. This edition makes accessible for the first time the little locally-produced chapbook in which the poem was first printed, in 1789. The introduction discusses why the poem was written, the controversial background to the poem's first printed version, and the reasons for thinking the 1789 chapbook version was printed by John Wilson of Kilmarnock, who had printed Burns's first book three years before. An appendix gives extracts from early comments about the poem, both admiring and hostile.

Kein (medieval Scottish verse-forms), Rivka Swenson (Scottish prose fiction before the novel), Eric Jaccard (Scottish literature's global connections), and Sharon Alker and Holly Faith Nelson (on periodization in the liberal arts curriculum).

""Christianity And A Personal Devil: An Essay"" is a thought-provoking and insightful book written by Patrick Scott. The book explores the concept of a personal devil in Christianity, and delves into the various interpretations and beliefs surrounding this figure. Scott examines the historical origins of the devil in Christianity, and how the devil has been portrayed throughout the centuries in art, literature, and popular culture. He also explores the role of the devil in Christian theology, and how different denominations have interpreted the devil's influence on human behavior and salvation. Throughout the book, Scott challenges readers to consider their own beliefs about the devil and how it affects their understanding of Christianity. With clear and concise writing, ""Christianity And A Personal Devil: An Essay"" is a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the complex relationship between Christianity and the devil.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

This book collects essays and talks about Robert Burns by the Burns scholar G. Ross Roy (1924-2013).

This issue of Studies in Scottish Literature has two very different special sections, as well as a broad range of articles and shorter contributions. With thirty contributors, from eight countries, representing over twenty different universities, the issue illustrates Scottish literature's growing international reach. Opening the issue is the first SSL Debate, eighteen short contributions in which scholars in Scotland and elsewhere respond to the recent BBC Scotland poll on Scotland's Favourite Novel?, arguing on behalf of Scottish novels they think were undervalued by the BBC voters or that should have been on the ballot, but weren't. The section is introduced by Professor Willy Maley, discussing the purposes and limitations of such lists. Full-length articles in the issue include: * Jacquelyn Hendricks, on Gavin Douglas and Caxton * Ian C. Robertson, on James Beattie's The Minstrel * Clark McGinn, with new documents on Burns and Jamaica * Richie McCaffery, on Tom Scott as a religious poet * Ian Brown, on Anne Marie Di Mambro's Tally's Blood The SSL Research Symposium, on "New Developments in Robert Burns Bibliography," prints four papers given at the National Library of Scotland in March this year. Introduced by Professor Gerry Carruthers, it includes papers by Craig Lamont, Patrick Scott, Iain Beavan, and Robert Betteridge. The issue concludes with briefer research notes, including a survey of digital resources for Scottish neo-Latin writing, and reviews or brief notices of recently published books on Scottish literature. Founded in 1963, Studies in Scottish Literature, the first refereed scholarly journal in its field, remains a leading forum for scholarly discussion and research. Edited by Patrick Scott and Tony Jarrells, of the University of South Carolina, with the support of a distinguished international advisory board, the journal publishes articles on all periods of Scottish literature.

The essays collected in this book explore religious beliefs in a wide range of Scottish literature, and how these beliefs have been treated in Scottish criticism. Taking up Crawford Gribben's challenge that Scottish literary criticism has long been distorted by anti-Calvinist bias, especially in treating 16th and 17th century Scottish writing, the contributors broaden the discussion to discuss religious belief, and anti-religious critical bias or misunderstanding, in writers from the 18th century to the present, and from varied Scottish religious traditions, Episcopalian and Catholic, as well as Presbyterian. The book makes available Crawford Gribben's original essay, nine essays on individual works or writers previously published in Studies in Scottish Literature, with an introduction by Patrick Scott, an afterword by Crawford Gribben, and a checklist of suggested further reading on religion in Scottish literature. Contributors include Kelsey Jackson Williams on Archibald Pitcairne, Robert Irvine on John Galt's Annals of the Parish, Joanna Malecka on Thomas Carlyle, Matthew Wickman on Lewis Grassic Gibbon, Gerard Carruthers on A.J. Cronin, Brooke McLaughlin Mitchell on Fionn Mac Colla, Richard Rankin Russell on Muriel Spark, Petra Johana Poncarová on Derick Thomson, and Alison Jack on James Robertson.
