Burns (1759～1796) Burns, Robert Burns-Life Robert Burns British poet. Forerunner of Romanticism. It is the Danish equivalent of Andersen. Born on January 25, 1759 in a tenant farmer family in the town of Alloway, Ayrshire, Scotland, and died in Dumfries on July 21, 1796. He came from a poor family since he was a child and had no formal education. He relied on self-study to acquire a wide range of knowledge. The best poetic works were produced between 1785 and 1790, and are collected in the collection "Poems mainly written in Scottish dialect". The collection of poems reflects the poet's departure from the neoclassical style of poetry in the British poetry world at that time, drawing nutrients from local life and folk literature, bringing fresh vitality to poetry creation, and forming the basic characteristics of his poetry creation. It praises nature and rural life with pious sentiments; it satirizes the hypocrisy of the church and people in daily life with penetrating words. The collection of poems made Burns famous in one fell swoop and he was called a genius farmer. Later, he was invited to Edinburgh and mingled among dignitaries of high society. However, he found that his proud nature and radical ideas were incompatible with the upper class society, so he returned to his hometown to work in farming. He once traveled to the northern highlands of Scotland and later became a tax officer, creating works while working.
