It explores improvement as the animating principle behind Scotland's post-1707 project of modernization, a narrative both shaped and reflected in the literary sphere. It represents a vital moment in Romantic studies, as a 'four-nations' interrogation of the British context reaches maturity. Equally, the volume contributes to a central concern in the study of Scottish culture, amplifying a critical synthesis of Romanticism and Enlightenment. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 9 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 3.0 license. https: \/\/s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/tandfbis\/rt-files\/docs\/Open+Access+Chapters\/9781351056427_oachapter9.pdf\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlex Benchimol is Senior Lecturer in English Literature at the University of Glasgow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGerard Lee McKeever is a founding Co-Convener of the Scottish Romanticism Research Group at the University of Glasgow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 248\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 14, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51788904169760,"sku":"9780367591519","price":100.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/70ae32c481c341e3690899eca4d580eb.webp?v=1780663031","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/cultures-of-improvement-in-scottish-romanticism-1707-1840-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
