Focusing on the literary culture of southwest Scotland from 1770 to 1830, this book explores the emergence of modern cultural regionalism during a transformative period. It highlights how local literature reflected complex interactions with national and imperial narratives, influenced by figures such as Robert Burns, Walter Scott, and visitors like Dorothy Wordsworth and John Keats. The periodical press, along with the experiences of emigrants and adventurers, played a crucial role in reshaping the region's identity amidst evolving economic and environmental landscapes.
