A recent survey of Scottish academics selected Burns as the “greatestever Scot.” As Edinburgh University historian Tom Devine observed, “Burns has continuing reverence because of his belief in democracy and equality. He is a man whose beliefs allowed him to be simultaneously admired in Soviet Russia and America, the centre of the western world. He also epitomizes Scotland, particularly in his humour and egalitarian spirit” (Scotland on Sunday, January 8, 2006, http://scotlandonsunday.scotsman.com/print. cfm?Id=25842006). 1. Robert Burns: A Brief Biography 1. Montreal Gazette, January 25, 1927, scrapbook 3, Burnsiana, John M. Shaw Collection, Special Collections, Strozier Library, Florida State University , Tallahassee, Florida. The literature on Burns, of course, is enormous. An excellent brief biography is Gavin Sprott, Robert Burns: Pride and Passion: The Life, Times and Legacy (Edinburgh: National Library of Scotland, 1996). An older study by David Daiches, Robert Burns the Poet (1950; Edinburgh: Saltire Society, 1994) still retains its deserved reputation. There are equally numerous editions of his prose and poetry. Among others, I have drawn on the following: Robert Burns, The Complete Works of Robert Burns . . . with a Memoir by William Gunnyon (Edinburgh: Nimmo, Hay, and Mitchell, 1892), and Burns, The Complete Poems and Songs of Robert Burns (New Lanark, MD: Geddes and Grossett, 2001). James A. MacKay has edited The Complete Letters of Robert Burns (1987; Ayrshire, Scotland...
