Illustrious Exile: Journal of my Sojourn in the West Indies by Robert Burns, Esq. Commenced on the first day of July 1786 by Andrew O Lindsay

In 1786, the Scottish poet Robert Burns, penniless and needing to escape the consequences of his complicated love life, accepted the position of book-keeper on an estate in Jamaica, but the success of his poetry made the journey unnecessary. Andrew Lindsay looks at what could have happened if the voyage had taken place.
Andrew O. Lindsay taught English at Madras College in St. Andrews, Scotland, and is a former president of the St. Andrews Burns Club.
