Robert Burns (1759 –1796), Scotland’s national poet and pioneer of the Romantic Movement, has been hugely influential across Europe and indeed throughout the world. Burns has been translated seven times as often as Byron, with 21 Norwegian translations alone recorded since 1990; he was translated into German before the end of his short life, and was of key importance in the vernacular politics of central and Eastern Europe in the nineteenth century. This collection of essays by leading international scholars and translators traces the cultural impact of Burns' work across Europe and includes bibliographies of major translations of his work in each country covered, as well as a publication history and timeline of his reception on the continent.
Murray Pittock is Bradley Professor of English Literature at the University of Glasgow, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, and a prizewinner of that society and of the British Academy, as well as winning or being nominated or shortlisted for over ten other literary prizes. He is the author or editor of a number of prominent works on Jacobitism and Romanticism, including Scottish and Irish Romanticism (2008, 2011), Robert Burns in Global Culture (2011) and Material Culture and Sedition: Treacherous, Objects, Secret Places (2013). He is currently editing the Scots Musical Museum in the AHRC Collected Burns edition.
