The Scotswoman at Home and Abroad: Non-fiction Writing 1700-1900 (Asls Annual Volume Series)

Practical or whimsical, written for pleasure or profit, the extracts in this remarkable anthology provide a vivid cross-section of half of Scotland’s culture from 17001900. Using texts that have fallen out of print, as well as previously unpublished material, the collection gives a bold new voice to issues of class, gender, and society.
