- This is the first book-length study to examine how and why the poems and songs of Robert Burns rose to prominence in the United States of America. The book establishes that convergences in print culture, emigration, politics, and nation-building led to the widespread popularity of Burns's works. Theoretically, the book is informed by transnational perspectives, and my conclusion argues that this study demonstrates why we must consider a plurality of civic identities when considering literary relations in the nineteenth century. The project took five years to complete, and draws on previously neglected archival material in the US and Scotland.
