Read together, these volumes offer complementary views of Scottish Highland life at a time of major historical transition: Grant was offering outsiders her perspective as a long-time resident of the region, while Spence was, unapologetically, writing as a tourist. The Highlands were central to Romantic-era debates on subjects ranging from landscape and aesthetics to national identities, and, as this collection demonstrates, women were making significant contributions to those debates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe four volume set, edited by Kirsteen McCue and Pam Perkins, is accompanied by new editorial material including a new general introduction and headnotes to each work. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45237609201815,"sku":"9781848931473","price":39842.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781848931473.webp?v=1769217052","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/womens-travel-writings-in-scotland-letters-from-the-mountains-by-anne-grant-and-letters-from-the-north-highlands-by-elizabeth-isabella-spence-9781848931473","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
