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. The 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.
