Overview
You will use primary sources to look at Scotland’s identity after the Jacobite rebellions, when the Highlands were reinvented, especially through the royal approval of Queen Victoria. Learn more at the The Romance and Reality of Scotland in the 18th and 19th Centuries programme offered by The University of Edinburgh.
Scotland’s re-presentation in literature and the arts will also be explored, including the work of Walter Scott and the cult of Robert Burns. You will also be introduced to lesser-known travel writing, that shed a complementary and sometimes less romantic light on Scotland at this time.
Any recommended reading will be shared by the course teacher once the course is confirmed to run.
You will require access to a device with an internet connection.
