The Influences of Robert BurnsRobert Burns didn't write his poetry and songs in a vacuum, the influences around him at that time give us an insight into his work. Scotland was changing during Burns's lifetime, as the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions transformed the way people lived. New ideas about religion and politics. Burns moved between the worlds of the farm worker and leisured gentry, and his work reflects this.
