- Title
'In Costume Scotch o'er Bog and Park, My Hame-Bred Muse delighted Plays': Samuel Thomson's Poetic Fashioning of the Ulster Landscape.
- Authors
ORR, JENNIFER
- Abstract
The article explains the impact of Scottish culture and literature on Samuel Thomson's landscape poetry. It cites Thomson's struggle to keep himself as a poet amidst the lack of patriotic desires among his labor-class neighbors to sustain Irish poetry. It concludes how Thomson celebrates the hybridity of Ulster Scot's culture through his poem "The Bard's Farewell," where he looks at himself as a spiritual exile.
