(uk)robert Burns
Burns's lyric poetry is unique. The beauty of the homeland, the magnificence of nature, the simple enthusiasm of the working people, the warmth and touchingness of love and friendship... Burns sang in Scottish dialect. His simple, natural and rich country style brought a fresh breeze to the British poetry world where neoclassicism was prevalent at that time. It played an important leading role in the Romantic movement that emerged in the early 19th century. Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley and others were deeply influenced by his poetic style, and Burns was therefore called the "pioneer of Romanticism". Now every January 25th, the people of Scotland will hold a grand celebration to commemorate this romantic poet.
