Abstract:
During the period of Fascism, a variety of discourses and representations were attached to colonial landscapes and to their uses. African nature was the subject of diverse rhetorical strategies, which ranged from the persistence of visions of wilderness as the locus of adventure to the domesticating manipulations of an incipient tourist industry aiming to familiarise the Italian public with relatively tame forms of the exotic. Contrasting images of bareness and productivity, primitivism and modernisation, resistance to change and dramatic transformation found their way into accounts of colonia

The author refers to guidebooks from between 1899 and 1904 prepared by the famous Ural journalist V. A. Vesnovsky, which became the first attempt at a holistic description of the region addressed to the general reader. The article focuses on the techniques of space narrativisation, which are actively used by guidebooks, unlike reference books. Narrativisation is seen in its functional aspect: as a way to engage the audience through an emotionally told

According to the American art historian Charles Callahan Perkins, in his groundbreaking study Tuscan Sculptors (1864), Donatello ‘was undoubtedly the greatest Tuscan sculptor before Michael Angelo, and though by no means his equal in vigour and grandeur of conception, by far his superior in delicacy of handling, in truth of detail, rendering of character, and technical ability as a worker in marble or bronze’. Perkins’s nineteenth-century readers, largely composed of members of the American intellectual and cultural elite, were duly impressed by this evocative description. But they were mostly

This study examines the value of travellers’ written records of their trips with specific reference to the journals of five French travellers who visited Scotland between 1780 and 1830. The thesis argues that they contain material which demonstrates the merit of journals as historical documents. The themes chosen for scrutiny, life in the rural areas, agriculture, industry, transport and towns, are examined and assessed across the journals and against the social, economic and literary scene in France and Scotland.

Abstract:
My essay explores Keats’s ‘Cockneyism’ in the letters describing his six-week ‘northern tour’ in 1818 with Charles Brown in letters to his brother Tom and other family members, as well as to friends like Reynolds and Bailey. His tour letters and poetry are placed in the context of post-Waterloo travel accounts of Scotland, and of contemporary criticisms of the Highland tour as a commodified and Cockneyfied cliché, especially in the wake of the craze for Scott’s Highland romances. The essay considers the literary influence of Wordsworth, Burns, and Scott, although the latter is a conspicuous absence from Keats’s account. Keats’s pedestrian tour is interpreted as an exercise in masculine self-fashioning and social mobility, a distinctive cultural performance, rather than merely an episode in the poet’s creative development. Attention is paid to Keats’s accoutrements and itinerary, and new research identifies the guidebooks he consulted, as well as his relations with local people, especially in the Gaelic-speaking Highlands. Keats’s account of key sites, like Loch Lomond, Inveraray, Mull, Iona, Staffa, and Ben Nevis are explored in relation to the light-hearted tour poetry that they inspired. My essay explores how Keats negotiated this ‘beaten track’, both as a cultural and as a literary practice, anticipating the ironic sense of poetic identity that he developed in the poems of his last years.

Abstract:
The chapter explores the little-known Letters from a Gentleman in the North of Scotland to His Friend in London, written in the late 1720s and ’30s, almost certainly by Edmund Burt, a Government employee during the uneasy period of peace between the two Jacobite risings of 1715 and 1745. It is proposed as an important, but often unacknowledged, precursor to many of the texts studied in the chapters that follow. The book’s urbane, Spectator-style spotlight on Highland manners, and pioneering descriptions of Highland travel and topography, mark a major departure from earlier accounts by John Macky and Daniel Defoe. Key sections explore Burt’s critical account of two Highland excursions travelling on the ‘old ways’ (i.e. traditional drove roads), and the final letter’s description of Wade’s road-building programme in the 1720s and ’30s, offering Burt a solution to the problem of Highland ‘backwardness’.
