About this listen

Discover the Edinburgh poet who inspired Robert Burns, and whose impact extends well beyond the pages of his works to the city’s landscape, and even the treatment of brain injuries.


‘The Collected Works of Robert Fergusson: Reconstructing Textual and Cultural Legacies’ is a two-year research project, funded by the Leverhulme Trust, and led by Professor Rhona Brown. As the 250th anniversary of Fergusson’s death approaches, Prof. Brown and Dr Amy Wilcockson join the podcast to share their research, as well as insights into Fergusson’s life, works and legacy. Listen to learn more about Fergusson, and hear extracts of his work read by Billy Kay and James Robertson.
