This collection includes the first critical editions of both Anne
Grant's Letters from the Mountains (1806), one of the Romantic
era's most successful non-fictional accounts of the Scottish
Highlands, and Elizabeth Isabella Spence's Letters from the North
Highlands (1816), a work that, while influenced by Grant's Letters,
attempted to move the genre of the Scottish travelogue in new
directions. 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. The 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.
