Raising important questions about how Burns has been read, reinterpreted, and reinvented across the centuries and across media, as well as across the Atlantic ocean, this volume will be of interest not only to anyone working in Scottish literary studies, but also to scholars of Canadian and American literary history and print culture.' Pam Perkins, University of Manitoba, Canada 'Robert Burns and Transatlantic Culture offers a convincing and thorough exploration of Burns as a transatlantic figure, providing new directions for further research that should prove quite productive for Burns studies.'
