Robert Fergusson (1750-1774) is an important figure in the evolution of Scots poetry, serving as a link between the generation of Allan Ramsay and the work of Robert Burns and others. He possessed such a great range in Scots and English and was comfortable and skilled in using both literary languages. He could be satirical, comical, a rich story-teller, or a melancholy commentator. He was able to cover urban and pastoral themes, and created characters that were brought to life through his verse. He also brought the Scots dialect to the fore, emphasising the colour and vividness that the sounds and meanings can bring to poetry. Several of the poems of Robert Burns are clearly influenced by Robert Fergusson.
