In 1787, Robert Burns, Scotland's national bard, met Agnes Maclehose, the woman who may have been the great love of his life. The two adopted pen names in a series of letters to each other - Sylvander and Clarinda - and Burns finally said his poetic farewell to Clarinda in a poem that remains a popular song today, "Ae Fond Kiss." But the letters turned up in court in 1804.
In part two of this interview with Scottish lawyer and historian Hector MacQueen, Hector explains the fascinating new legal doctrine which ultimately allowed the pursuers to succeed in restraining publication of the letters in Scotland. But the legal remedy came too late to keep the letters truly private. They were widely published in other countries, including Ireland and the United States, and in London. From 1820, as Hector notes, the letters were once again published in Scotland - "the matter of family scandal and shame" having "become one for family pride" with the spectacular growth of the poet's fame after his death.
