In 1810 a literary phenomenon swept through Britain, Europe and
beyond: the publication of Sir Walter Scott's epic poem The Lady of
the Lake, set in the wild romantic landscape around Loch Katrine
and the Trossachs. The world's first international blockbusting
bestseller, in terms of sheer publishing sensation nothing like it
was seen until the Harry Potter books. Exploring the potent appeal
that links books, places, authors and readers, this collection of
eleven essays examines tourism in the Trossachs both before and
after 1810, and surveys the indigenous Gaelic culture of the area.
It also considers how Sir Walter's writings responded to the
landscape, history and literature of the region, and traces his
impact on the tourists, authors and artists who thronged in his
wake.
