Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a fresh perspective on the portrayal of Scottish Highlanders throughout history, particularly in the writings of Mr. John Pinkerton. The author challenges Pinkerton's biased and erroneous accounts, providing a detailed analysis of how historical and literary texts have perpetuated negative stereotypes about Highlanders. The author argues that Pinkerton's work is a prime example of the widespread anti-Highland sentiment that emerged during the 18th and 19th centuries, which cast Highlanders as uncivilized and inferior. Drawing on evidence from various sources, including Gaelic literature, the author demonstrates the inaccuracy of Pinkerton's claims and offers a more nuanced understanding of Highland culture and history. This book is an important contribution to our understanding of how historical narratives can be shaped by prejudice and bias, and it sheds new light on the complex relationship between the Scottish Highlands and the rest of Britain. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780282225445_0
