Burns was born at Alloway, Ayrshire, Scotland on 25 January 1759 and died in Dumfries on 21 July 1796. In less than 37 years of life he accomplished more than most people do in a normal lifetime. The son of a farmer, Burns was the oldest of seven children, all of whom had to help in the work on the farm. Although never well off, Burns' father, until his death in 1784, encouraged his sons with their education. As a result, Burns as a boy not only read Scottish poetry but also the works of Pope, Locke, and Shakespeare. By 1781, Burns had tried his hand at several agricultural jobs without success. Although he had begun writing, and his poems were circulated widely in manuscript, none were published until 1786. At this time he had already begun a life of dissipation, and he was not only discouraged but poor and was involved simultaneously with several women.

Search Britannia Departments Travel History British Life Shopping Biographies British Monarchs Prime Ministers Great Scotsmen Biographies A - Z Robert Burns (1759-1796) At a time when the glories of English literature were being made known to a wide audience in Europe, due to its new direction in which the lives of common folk were being explored and praised, the name of Robert Burns stands out. Burns was above all the poet of rural, daily life. Not only that, but his championing of the Scottish vernacular made that language an acceptable vehicle in which to produce world class literature. He used the rhythm and sounds of his native Scots to give full meaning to his work as well as liveliness and spirit. In addition, the patriotism expressed in many of his works did much to keep alive the spirit of an independent-minded Scotland, and the present-day ceremonies of toasting the haggis carried out world-wide by Scots loyal to their native country owes everything to one of his poems. Born at Alloway, Ayrshire, Burns was heavily influenced by Blind Harry's Wallace and the works of Allan Ramsay and Robert Fergusson. His first collection of verses was published in 1786: Poems Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect, in which his ode "To a Mouse" first appeared. Its success made him change his mind about leaving his poor farm near Mauchline and t taking his family to emigrate to Jamaica. It was a book that brought him instant fame from a literature-starved public; the era of the common man was at hand (just think what was happening in the American colonies and in France at the same time).

96. Crawford And Gounod: Ambiguity And Irony In Malcolm's Katie Essay by robert Alan burns. http://www.arts.uwo.ca/canpoetry/cpjrn/vol15/burns.htm

By Robert Alan Burns Interestingly, it is Dorothy Livesay, one of those most responsible for the habitual linking of the names of Crawford and Tennyson, who has more than once suggested another, non-literary model for the form of and Hugh and Ion Faust with the subject and theme of her poem. Mireille was at that time as popular as Faust , it seems reasonable to speculate that if Crawford knew Faust , she probably knew Mireille Within the context of a detailed examination of the effects of ambiguity and irony in Mireille Mireille , a lyrically pastoral work set in rural Provence, is nearly identical with that of I In the opera, Mireille (Katie), the daughter of a wealthy farmer named Ramon (Malcolm), loves Vincent (Max), the son of a poor laborer. After Mireille and Vincent have pledged their love to one another ( . After an argument, Ourrais strikes Vincent and, believing he has killed his rival, drowns while attempting to escape. In the original version of the opera, Vincent, Ourrais, and Mireille all die; but Gounod and Carré revised both the score and the libretto to suit the vanity of Madame Carvalho, who sang the role of Mireille at Le Théatre Lyrique in 1864. In the revised version, Vincent miraculously survives to be reunited with Mireille, whom he discovers at the point of death after she has made a long and difficult pilgrimage across the Desert of Crau to pray for Vincent at the Church of

Robert Burns Trail in Ayrshire, Dumfriesshire and Edinburgh This trail covers the homes and haunts of Robert Burns in Ayrshire, Dumfriesshire and Edinburgh from his birth in Alloway until his death in Dumfries. All places on the route are within a seventy five minutes car journey of Meadowfoot Cottage Bed and Breakfast or Midrow Holiday Cottage at Leadhills, which is central on the trail and the ideal place to stay. Burns Cottage Burns Monument More information Back to map ALLOWAY (60 minutes drive from Leadhills) Burns Cottage built by Robert Burns father is the place where the story begins. Restoration work and a short audio visual presentation heightens the senses and gives a representation of what the cottage would have been like at the time of Burns. A short distance away (10 mins walk) is the Tam O' Shanter Experience which in contrast with the antiquity of the nearby Burns Cottage, Kirk, Brig O'Doon and the Burns Monument this is a product of the 1990's with two audio visual theatres, one giving an introduction to the Bard and the other tells the story of Tam O'Shanter. TARBOLTON (40 minutes drive from Leadhills) In 1780, Burns, his brother, and five others formed themselves into a literary and debating club, the Bachelors' Club, which met in this 17th century building which is now furnished in the style of that time. The house is a National Trust Property and open to the public.
