Summary:Leith Davis and Janet Sorensens International Companion makes an intervention in the way scholars subdivide the history of Scottish literature by focusing on a long eighteenth century stretching from 1650 to 1800. Elsewhere, in the spatially oriented section of the book - 'Environments of Space and Time' - Alex Deanss chapter on 'Travel Writing and Eighteenth-Century Scotland' is an assured guide through evolutions in the Highland tour that, by the later eighteenth century, had been codified into a middle-class leisure pursuit. [...]Eric Gidal develops his inspirational ecocritical work to address in Scottish poetry of the eighteenth century the 'manifold signatures of ecological transformation that are our legacy from that ambitious time' (260).
