The project, 'Robert Burns: Inventing Tradition and Securing Memory, 1796-1909', will culminate in a one-day conference entitled ‘The Object of Poetry’ being held at the University of Dundee, Dalhousie Building, Dundee on Saturday 26th March 2011, 9.00am to 4.45pm. The aims of this conference are to widen the field of investigation beyond the study of Robert Burns's cultural memory by examining hitherto unexplored interactions between literary and material culture throughout all the long nineteenth century. The conference seeks to examine the relationship between literary reputation and popular culture, attempting to explain how an author's status and works are translated in material cultural terms through associational objects, whether this is publicly through fine art, sculpture and architecture or privately in the form of relics, souvenirs and domestic artefacts.
