Up until the early 20th century, Robert Burns-related events, such as the unveiling of memorials - drew some of the biggest, most fervent crowds ever seen in Scotland. Not Beatlemania but Burnsmania. Why was the Burns legacy so powerful after his death - much more so than all of the great celebrity Scots who died after him, and why did Scots feel more passionately about what Burns represented in 1850 than they do now? Why was there a contest to 'own' Burns, with towns and cities, conservatives and radicals fighting to claim the bard as their own? Robert Burns is today a global icon, and his image is used to advertise a range of products, and to induce visitors to Scotland's places of interest, albeit that some have only a faint link with the poet. Burns is still celebrated, but in many respects Burns has been neutered, his memory an excuse for conviviality and good cheer, his name a device for selling food and drink. This lavishly illustrated lecture will provide fresh insights not only into Scottish social history, but also on the changing nature of Scotland's culture and identity. It is a fitting occasion with which to mark Scotland's national day, St Andrew's Day, on 30 November. This lecture is run jointly between the University of Dundee, and DUSA Year of Democracy Campaign, sponsored by Borders Books. Lecture takes place at 6pm in the Dalhousie Building, Old Hawkhill, University of Dundee. Drinks reception follows Please note overflow theatres may be in use.
