ROBERT BURNS IN THE POETRY OF SCOTTISH POETS-EMIGRANTS OF THE USA OF THE XIX CENTURY

Abstract

The paper deals with the analysis of the image of Robert Burns in Scottish emigrational poetry of the USA of the XIX century in the context of perception of symbolic literary figures in the creative works of Scotland’s writers and Scottish poets-emigrants. An attempt has been made to determine the criteria for choosing symbolic figures and artistic components of these images, which will be relevant for other national literatures. To identify the specifics of the image of R. Burns in Scotland and the USA, a genreological and comparative analysis was carried out at different levels: sociocultural, biographical and poetological.
