Abstract

The article analyzes the Scottish émigré poetry of the XIX century. The paper traces transformation of the Scottish realia into symbols in the context of relevant motives of removal. The researcher identifies artistic peculiarities of poems in which realia acquire symbolic meaning, proposes a classification of motives of return to the Motherland, which constitutes scientific originality of the study. As a result, it is shown that the Scottish émigré poets described Motherland-Scotland as a “fairy world” transforming realia into symbols, which is typical for émigré discourse. The motive of “fairy world” is associated with motives of vision/dream/reverie and sea voyage.
