He examines the poet's relationships with the people of Dumfries, including his close friends and fellow writers, as well as his involvement in the town's political and cultural life. The book also looks at the impact of Burns' death on Dumfries and how the town commemorated his life and work in the years that followed. Sulley explores the various monuments and memorials that were erected in Burns' honor, as well as the festivals and events that continue to celebrate his legacy today. Overall, Robert Burns and Dumfries 1796-1896 is a comprehensive and insightful exploration of one of Scotland's most beloved poets and the town that played such an important role in his life. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the cultural and social history of Scotland during the 19th century, as well as a deeper understanding of Burns' enduring influence on Scottish culture and identity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
