| book description |

Dubbed his 'elder brother in the muse' by Robert Burns, the influence of Robert Fergusson upon eighteenth-century Scots poets cannot be overstated. A chronicler of Edinburgh and populariser of the 'standard habbie', he opened the door for generations of poets documenting urban life as it evolved throughout the Enlightenment and beyond. And yet, his popular legacy pales in comparison to his Ayrshire-born namesake.Â In this collection, across Scots, English and Gaelic, a wealth of contemporary poets respond to his work. From tributes to biographies to departures, Scotland's most celebrated writers and emerging poets alike evoke the enduring impact of Fergusson upon their work, proving that, two hundred and fifty years after his death, his song immortal lives.Â
