Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a thorough analysis of the history of periodical literature in the rich literary town of Arbroath. The author covers a vast historical period that begins with Arbroathâs early role as a center of learning and continues through the development of print technology and the role of local newspapers in covering national events such as the Reform Bill. The author traces the development of a lively literary culture in Arbroath, from the activities of the influential Literary Club and the founding of the Public Library, through the establishment of Arbroathâs first local newspaper, the Arbroath Magazine, in 1799. The book offers insightful readings of the work of local authors, including David Carey, whose historical writings on Arbroath and other works including poetry and novels such as Campbell, or the Scottish Probationer, show the townâs influence on his writing. The work also delves into lesser-known publications including the Monthly Miscellany, which emphasized local traditions, the influential Arbroath Journal, which fearlessly tackled controversial local issues, and the short-lived Pennyworth, an ambitious literary journal that explored a wide range of topics. The bookâs meticulous research and insightful analysis make it a valuable resource for scholars of local history and literature, as well as anyone interested in the development of print culture and journalism in Scotland. It sheds light on the important role that local newspapers played in shaping public opinion and preserving the rich history of Arbroath and the surrounding area.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. An exploration of Robert Burns' birthplace, this book seeks to answer the question of whether the current building is the actual birthplace of the famous Scottish poet. The author uses a trove of documents from the Incorporation of Shoemakers of Ayr, who purchased the property in 1781, as well as oral accounts and physical evidence to firmly establish that the Burns Cottage of today is the very place where the poet was born in 1759. The book delves into the history of the cottage, from its humble beginnings as a clay and straw-thatched dwelling to its transformation into a public-house with expanding accommodations, a use which both preserved the building and provided livelihoods for its various occupants. Despite skepticism at various times that the current site is the actual birthplace, through detailed archival research, the author dispels such doubts. Beyond the preservation of the building, this book also sheds light on the preservation of Burns' legacy, with discussion of the erection of the monument to Burns and the efforts of the Incorporation of Shoemakers and subsequent caretakers to maintain and protect the cottage and its contents. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
