About Robert Burns
Robert Burns was born in Alloway in Ayrshire Scotland on the 25th of January 1759. Why was he such a popular poet? He wrote in the common tongue. He wrote and expressed the feelings and hopes and misery of the working people of his country. His poetry was to travel the world and link emotionaly all down trodden people with hope.
His life was extraordinary due to the people who would lift him up and then distance themselves because of his progressive ideas and leanings. He was a republican and would have loved to see Scotland a republic on the lines of the French Revelution which was happening across the Channel in his time.
He was a socalist before such a thing existed, a humanitarian before such thoughts existed. He was a man of the people, a man of his time at the same time his thoughts and views were radical and way ahead even of those who were creating the world of tomorrow in France and in America.
