Description

Excerpt from Robert Burns and Mrs. Dunlop, Vol. 1 of 2: Correspondence Now Published in Full for the First Time Students of Burns will be interested, in the first place, to know what light the Lochryan mss. Throw on the cause of that unhappy episode in the poet's life. The point is fully discussed in the text (vol. Ii. P. 289, but it may be said generally that a broad view of the complete Correspondence, now possible for the first time, strongly favours the theory that Mrs. Dunlop's failure to answer Burns's letters of 1795 and 1796 was due to inadvertence rather than to any offence he could, consciously or unconsciously, have given her, and that if pique influenced her that is to say, if her silence was caused by his failure to answer promptly the last letter she sent him from London in January of 1795 - his previous negligence had afforded her at least a pretext for the severe punishment she inflicted. A glance at the table of dates (infra) will show which of the two had the better reason, on the whole, to reproach the other with neglect.
