Bog beskrivelse
Discovering the Footsteps of Time probes the development of a distinctively Scottish tradition of geological travel writing from the seventeenth to early nineteenth century. The tradition tracks a fertile interaction of scientific and aesthetic themes, mediated through literary techniques, which highlights the emergence of ''Romanticism'' as such; a distinctive, recognisable cultural movement of taste and style. Making an important new contribution to our understanding of the ''discovery'' and representation of Scotland in the long eighteenth century, the book explores why Scotland''s topography has been decisive in the history of geology to such a great extent. Written by a literary academic rather than a geologist, the book is as much concerned with textual strategies and the aesthetic experience of geological discovery as with geology itself.
