Scotland and the Fictions of Geography: North Britain 1760-1830 by Penny Fieldin

Description: Scotland and the Fictions of Geography by Penny Fielding Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description In this book, Penny Fielding examines how Scottish Romantic literature sheds light on concepts of the British nation, and the roles of England and Scotland within it. Addressing the work of well and lesser-known writers, and a broad range of antiquarian and travel writing, Fielding explores the relationship of history, literature and geography. Publisher Description Focusing on the relationship between England and Scotland and the interaction between history and geography, Penny Fielding explores how Scottish literature in the Romantic period was shaped by the understanding of place and space. This book examines geography as a form of regional, national and global definition, addressing national surveys, local stories, place-names and travel writing, and argues that the case of Scotland complicates the identification of Romanticism with the local. Fielding considers Scotland as North Britain in a period when the North of Europe was becoming a strong cultural and political identity, and explores ways in which Scotland was both formative and disruptive of British national consciousness. Containing studies of Robert Burns, Walter Scott and James Hogg, as well as the lesser-known figures of Anne Grant and Margaret Chalmers, this study discusses an exceptionally broad range of historical, geographical, scientific, linguistic, antiquarian and political writing from throughout North Britain. Author Biography Penny Fielding is Senior Lecturer in the Department of English at the University of Edinburgh. Previous books include an edition of Walter Scott, The Monastery (2000), and Writing and Orality: Nationality, Culture, and Nineteenth-Century Scottish Fiction (1996).
