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. </p> <p> <a href="http://www.borders.co.uk/events/dundee/12/">See all events for this store</a> </p> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Thursday 6:00pm, 26 Nov 2009 - David Crigman - In Death We Trust - Birmingham Borders</h1> <div style="overflow:auto"> <div style="float:right;overflow:hidden;padding:0 0 5px 10px"></div> <h1>David Crigman - In Death We Trust</h1> <h2>6:00 pm, Thu 26th November 2009</h2> <h3>Birmingham Borders</h3> <p>Local author, David Crigman, will be in store to launch his third novel "In Death We Trust". <p> Come along to hear David read from this great new crime novel and to pick up a signed copy for yourself.</p> <p> <a href="http://www.borders.co.uk/events/birmingham/1/">See all events for this store</a> </p> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Thursday 6:30pm, 26 Nov 2009 - Borders Book Group - Leeds Borders</h1> <div style="overflow:auto"> <div style="float:right;overflow:hidden;padding:0 0 5px 10px"></div> <h1>Borders Book Group</h1> <h2>6:30 pm, Thu 26th November 2009</h2> <h3>Leeds Borders</h3> <p>Come and Join a friendly group of readers where we will be discussing a variety of books chosen by the group.

Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is grey. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food and each other. The Road is the profoundly moving story of a journey. It boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which the father and his son, 'each the other's world entire', are sustained by love. Awesome in the totality of its vision, it is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation.......New members are always welcome.</p> <p> <a href="http://www.borders.co.uk/events/warrington/31/">See all events for this store</a> </p> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Thursday 7:00pm, 26 Nov 2009 - The Knitting Club! - Stockport Borders</h1> <div style="overflow:auto"> <div style="float:right;overflow:hidden;padding:0 0 5px 10px"></div> <h1>The Knitting Club!</h1> <h2>7:00 pm, Thu 26th November 2009</h2> <h3>Stockport Borders</h3> <p>A regular feature of the Borders Stockport scene... if you enjoy knitting or crocheting, if you enjoy a bit of a gossip, if you want a bit of company, then come on down on every second Thursday at 7pm for a bit of light relief!
