Abstract

234 Burns Chronicle out of this extensive scholarly apparatus makes for fascinating reading, it is all too easy and enjoyable to lose oneself in doing this. Read consecutively or in this way, the volume lends itself in valuable ways to providing the context for Scott’s writing career. Garside and Hughes bring their formidable expertise in textual editing and nineteenth-century Scottish literary studies to the volume, which bears their signature attention to detail and scholarly rigour. The intensive research they have undertaken to locate and collect these poems together for the first time, and in particular to include those previously overlooked and unpublished, significantly expands the known body of Scott’s work. This is of especial value even within an Edition that is already changing perceptions of Scott’s poetry and demanding a reappraisal of his writing career.
