Making British Culture: English Readers and the Scottish Enlightenment, 1740–1830 de David Allan

Making British Culture: English Readers and the Scottish Enlightenment, 1740–1830: Routledge Studies in Cultural History

Autor David Allan
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 mai 2008
Making British Culture explores an under-appreciated factor in the emergence of a recognisably British culture. Specifically, it examines the experiences of English readers between around 1707 and 1830 as they grappled, in a variety of circumstances, with the great effusion of Scottish authorship – including the hard-edged intellectual achievements of David Hume, Adam Smith and William Robertson as well as the more accessible contributions of poets like Robert Burns and Walter Scott – that distinguished the age of the Enlightenment.

Recenzii

'He [Allan] must be applauded for further redirecting our focus on the consumers and institutions of Enlightenment culture and, above all else, for the magisterial scale of his archival excavations, which incorporates no fewer than fifty local repositories in addition to over a dozen major research libraries.' –Journal of Modern History
'As a repository of unique archival evidence regarding English readers' consumption of Scottish Enlightenment texts, Allan's book is uniquely valuable'. – Project Muse
