Manage episode 446774256 series 39651
For the latest Scots Whay Hae! Podcast Ali spoke to Professor Rhona Brown to hear all about The Collected Works of Robert Fergusson: Reconstructing Textual and Cultural Legacies which is a two-year research project, which runs from October 2023 until October 2025.
A key poet of the Scottish eighteenth century, Rhona explains exactly who Robert Fergusson (1750-74) was and why he is so important to Scottish literature and culture more generally. She talks about his relationships to the better known Allan Ramsay and Robert Burns, how he was regarded in his too-short life time, his love of his home city of Edinburgh, and his sad demise.
The two also discuss Fergusson's life and work, his legacy, his use of Scots, the challenges faced in collecting the works, rewriting past wrongs, and why this is a poet still relevant today. Rhona also sets out the various events and exhibitions which are happening to commemorate the 250th anniversary of his death, and celebrate his work.
If you are not aware of Robert Fergusson (or even if you are) then this is an insightful and informed conversation which could lead to you discovering a new favourite poet.
