Allan Cunningham (1784–1842) was a Scottish poet, author, and contemporary of the Romantics, best known for his work in biographical and editorial domains of literary Britain. Born in Keir, Dumfries and Galloway, he developed an early interest in literature but initially trained as a stonemason, which was his family's trade. Cunningham's enduring passion for literature led him to London, where he ventured into the world of writing and publishing. His affinity for Robert Burns' poetry and songs inspired him to compile 'The Complete Works of Robert Burns: Containing his Poems, Songs, and Correspondence' (1834), an extensive collection that was instrumental in preserving and promoting Burns' oeuvre. Cunningham's editorial prowess ensured that Burns' Scotch dialect works were accessible to a broader audience, solidifying Burns' legacy as Scotland's national bard. In addition to his editorial work, Cunningham also penned original poetry and tales, reflecting the influence of Scottish folklore and tradition in his writing. His own literary style was marked by a blend of Romantic idealism and the vernacular tradition, mirroring the cultural spirit of the early 19th century Scotland. His contribution to literature was significant in the preservation of Scottish cultural heritage and the propagation of Romantic lyricism through esteemed works, such as the anthology of Burns' poetry.
