Recollections of a Tour Made in Scotland A.D. 1803Good Press, 26.11.2019 - 316 Seiten 'Recollections of a Tour Made in Scotland, A.D. 1803' is a travel memoir by Dorothy Wordsworth, recounting her journey through the Scottish Highlands with her brother William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Considered a masterpiece of Scottish travel literature, it offers a fascinating insight into the burgeoning Romanticism movement and the literary pilgrimage of the three authors to places significant to Romanticists such as Robert Burns and Sir Walter Scott. Dorothy's vivid descriptions and judgments of the Scottish landscapes reflect both her personal aesthetics and the in-fashion aesthetics of the sublime, beautiful, and picturesque, making this book a classic of picturesque travel writing. |
