A. J. Morton is a writer and researcher specialising in the history of the west coast of Scotland. He has been a consultant, contributor or writer for ''The Sunday Times'',〔Belgutay, J., ("Searching for the Holy Grail" ), ''The Sunday Times'', 18 July 2009, p. 6〕 ''Irvine Times'', ''Fortean Times'', ''The Sunday Post'', and ''The Herald''. He is credited with the identification of an unrecorded medieval power centre in the west of Scotland. The burgh of Irvine, he told the Scotland on Sunday in 2010, was an important region of administration between the 12th and 16th centuries, and was possibly a temporary capital of Strathclyde after the sacking of Dumbarton Rock by the Vikings in 870.〔J. M. Fulton, ("Irvine was Scottish Capital" ), p.1 & 5〕 == Published works == As an essayist, Morton has published two papers in the Association for Scottish Literary Studies' ''Scottish Literary Journal'', the premier peer reviewed journal of Scottish literature and literary studies.〔 He has made several notable discoveries. His research has been reported by the London ''Daily Mail'', ''Sunday Times'', ''The Sun'', ''Sunday Express'', ''Evening Times'', ''Daily Record'', ''Sunday Herald'', ''USA Today'' and BBC Radio. In 2008, he identified the true author of famous Robert Burns poem "The Master's Apron". Written by a 19th-century American statesman, Henry O. Kent, the poem is no longer associated with Robert Burns. Dr. Corey E. Andrews of Youngstown University, USA said: ''"A.J. Morton makes a convincing case that 'The Master's Apron' is not the work of Robert Burns. His research demonstrates that Henry O. Kent wrote this masonic poem almost a hundred years after Burns's death."'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A. J. Morton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
