Enlightenment Travel and British Identities: Thomas Pennant’s Tours of Scotland and Wales

The essays in this collection reflect and bring to life the variety of topics to be found in Pennant's 'Tours', and his treatment of them. Appropriately, given that visual depiction as well as written description was very important to Pennant, this volume is well illustrated in relevant chapters, with reproductions from the 'Tours' and other contemporary images. —Edward Cole, 'Journal of Historical Geography' 60 (2018) 100–113. With contributions from scholars working in the fields of literature, history, archeology, art history, and history of science, the collection makes a strong case for Pennant’s importance to late eighteenth- century Britain in a variety of areas. —Katherine Hedane Grenier, The Citadel, Eighteenth-Century Scotland (the annual newsletter of ECSSS)
