ANDREW GIBSON MEMORIAL LECTURE
The inclusion of a section titled ‘Scotch Poems’ in the 1750s anthology 'The Ulster Miscellany' marked a turning point in Ulster-Scots writing. This selection of verse embodied the development of a writing culture that embraces place and language in fresh and exciting ways and anticipated new, positive approaches to thinking about the Scots language in Ireland.
Join us for this year's Andrew Gibson Memorial Lecture with Dr Frank Ferguson. Highlighting a pivotal moment in Ulster-Scots writing, the inclusion of 'Scotch Poems' within this anthology marked a transformative shift. Dr Ferguson will explore how this signified the evolution of a vibrant writing culture. The lecture promises to contextualize and celebrate the cultural significance of 'The Ulster Miscellany's' contribution to the literary landscape.
