Tourism and identity in Scotland, 1770-1914

creating Caledonia

"In this book, Katherine Haldane Grenier uses published and unpublished travel accounts, guidebooks, and the popular press to examine the evolution of the idea of Scotland. Though her primary subject is the cultural significance of Scotland for English tourists in demonstrating how this region came to occupy a central role in the Victorian imagination, Grenier also sheds light on middle-class popular culture, including anxieties over industrialization, urbanization, and political change: attitudes towards nature; nostalgia for the past; and racial and gender constructions of the "other.""--Jacket.
