Abstract
Discusses the relation between the Scottish poet Robert Burns and one of his most important precursors Robert Fergusson, describing Burns's efforts to raise a memorial on Fergusson's grave and the ways in which Burns's first book, Poems chiefly in the Scottish Dialect (Kilmarnock, 1786) was also a memorial to Fergusson.
