Abstract

The article comprehends the peculiarities of the perception of the peasant theme in the work of Robert Burns in Soviet literary criticism. It is noted that the specificity of the research assessment of this scientific problem in the Soviet Union was a consequence of the desire to present Burns as a realist poet, in many respects opposed to his predecessors, sentimentalists. Soviet researchers noted the concretization of the image of the Burns peasant, its close relationship with the era, everyday life. The peasant becomes the ideal of a positive character who is living in friendship looking forward to help others and has rich inner world. Soviet critics have invariably emphasized the democratic character of Burns's poetry, his ability to appreciate the beauty and wisdom of genuine folk poetry, which, in fact, give Burns' legacy immortal glory.
