THE TRADITIONS OF ENGLISH AND SCOTTISH LITERATURE IN THE POETRY OF THE SCOTTISH EMIGRANTS OF THE USA IN THE XIXTH CENTURY

Abstract

The article analyzes the English and Scottish historical and literary traditions that are relevant for the Scottish emigrant poets of the XIXth century, as well as the correlation of their work with the literary tastes of the readership. The Scottish literary tradition had much less influence than the English literary tradition, but it was she who formed the basic characteristics of Scottish emigration poetry: folklore, patriotism, historicism, mythogenicity. Genre-style preferences, versification technique are largely determined by the influence of English literature. However, the Scottish emigration poetry, despite the influence of various literary traditions, remained a rather distinctive and isolated phenomenon.
