A propos de cet article

Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive and richly illustrated account of the lives and times of people and events that helped shape the social and cultural life of Scotland's capital city during a time of rapid cultural and economic change. Through a series of insightful essays illustrated with rare and evocative images from the period, the book offers a compelling exploration of the lives and pastimes of Edinburgh's residents during the final decades of the 18th century. The author provides a vivid and engaging portrayal of a society alive with fascinating characters, from the philosopher David Hume and the architect Robert Adam to the most infamous of Edinburgh's body snatchers, Burke and Hare. The book expertly sets this colorful cast of characters within the wider context of the Scottish Enlightenment, an era of intellectual and artistic achievement that propelled Edinburgh onto the international stage. Themes explored include the rapid growth of Edinburgh's New Town, an ambitious urban development project that reshaped the city's physical and social landscape; the city's vibrant literary and artistic scene, which included the likes of Robert Burns and Allan Ramsay; and the darker side of the city's underworld, a world of crime and poverty that often lay hidden from polite society. This book is a captivating insight into a pivotal era in Edinburgh's history, a time when it emerged as a major center of ideas and innovation. Through its vivid blend of text and imagery, it offers a unique and immersive experience that brings the past vividly to life. 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.…
