The Genius of Scotland; or, Sketches of Scottish Scenery, Literature and ReligionGood Press, 2019 M12 4 - 321 páginas Departing from conventional travelogs, the author's innovative approach incorporates descriptions of Scottish landscapes, along with literary and biographical sketches, character portraits, travel anecdotes, and reflections on issues of local and global significance. The author's focus on more enduring subjects has necessitated the omission of certain things that a typical tourist might notice. Rather, he draws attention to portrayals of prominent figures such as Knox, Burns, Wilson, and Sir Walter Scott. Ultimately, the author's aim has been to present readers with a vivid and comprehensive understanding of Scotland's scenery, literature, and religion in an engaging and accessible manner. |
