We at length set the ladies ashore and took our leave of them. I gave Miss Flora two letters to her father, and promised to dine with them next day. Mr. Macrae, after taking leave of them, cried out shrewdly, ' Now farewell, Miss Floral Without pretending to the spirit of prophecy I could tell you who you will dream of to-night.' Considering of what inflammable materials my frame is composed, it was probably very fortunate that I was disappointed of ever seeing Miss Macrae again, as I might have felt the inconvenience of falling in love with an object in that remote country. I received word next day at Ardhill that she was taken very ill of the influenza, then raging in Kintail with great violence, and that Ardintoul, her father, was confined to bed, so that I was persuaded by the company to relinquish my intended visit as inconvenient. About eight o'clock, p.m., we landed at Ardhill, the house of the Rev. Alexander Downie, minister of Lochalsh, to whom I had likewise a letter of introduction, from his cousin, Colin Mackenzie, Esquire, W.S. This district of Glen Shiel which I now had left, is like the greatest part of the countries on that coast, very mountainous. Although the whole parish is thus denominated, Glen Shiel properly is that straight glen which terminates at the outer end of Loch Duich, and, stretching to the south-east, includes agreat part of Glen Morison, and on the east is bounded by the heights of Affarick, one of the branches of the Glass. those of them most contiguous to the sea. The mountains are very high and steep, especially They are very rocky and often bare of soil, but the rocks are everywhere interlined with green stripes covered with sweet and nutritious grasses, which...

Download or read book Three Perils of Man written by James Hogg and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-31 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is one of Hogg's longest and also one of his most original and daring works. Gillian Hughes's uncovering of the original manuscript in the Fales Library of New York University in August 2001 allows the editors to produce here a text that reflects Hogg's original intentions. Alongside the two main plots (the supernatural located at Aikwood Castle and the chivalric located at Roxburgh Castle) a series of embedded narratives provides the reader with, amongst other things, pictures of the traditional and timeless world of rural life in which Hogg had grown up and of early Scottish history. The name Sir Walter Scott (used through most of the manuscript) is restored and passages excised from the manuscript or omitted when the printed edition was prepared are included in the editorial apparatus. In several cases Hogg's more daringly explicit language has been brought back where the printed edition has bowdlerised or subdued the expression. The restoration of the name in particular makes explicit how much this novel represents a challenge to Scott's dominance in the portrayal of chivalry and the Middle Ages in general. Any attempt to assess Hogg as a major novelist, and in particular as a major historical novelist, must consider this edition of The Three Perils of Man.

Download or read book Stepping Westward written by Nigel Leask and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020-02-27 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stepping Westward is the first book dedicated to the literature of the Scottish Highland tour of 1720-1830, a major cultural phenomenon that attracted writers and artists like Pennant, Johnson and Boswell, William and Dorothy Wordsworth, Coleridge, Scott, Hogg, Keats, Daniell, and Turner, as well as numerous less celebrated travellers and tourists. Addressing more than a century's worth of literary and visual representations of the Highlands, the book casts new light on how the tour developed a modern literature of place, acting as a catalyst for thinking about improvement, landscape, and the shaping of British, Scottish, and Gaelic identities. It pays attention to the relationship between travellers and the native Gaels, whose world was plunged into crisis by rapid and forced social change. At the book's core lie the best-selling tours of Pennant and Dr Johnson, associated with attempts to 'improve' the intractable Gaidhealtachd in the wake of Culloden. Alongside the Ossian craze and Gilpin's picturesque, their books stimulated a wave of 'home tours' from the 1770s through the romantic period, including writing by women like Sarah Murray and Dorothy Wordsworth. The incidence of published Highland Tours (many lavishly illustrated), peaked around 1800, but as the genre reached exhaustion, the 'romantic Highlands' were reinvented in Scott's poems and novels, coinciding with steam boats and mass tourism, but also rack-renting, sheep clearance, and emigration.
