Reviews

'Lucidly written and theoretically informed, this study asserts the vital relationships between literature, social history, and the natural world … Highly recommended.' E. Kraft, Choice Connect 'Walter Scott and the Greening of Scotland shows that corrections to modernity's excesses emerged simultaneously within the discourse of modernity, countering a false triumphalist narrative of linear progress toward liberal social economies. In laying the foundation for this kind of reassessment, Oliver has published an important work that scholars will find rewarding for years to come.' J. Andrew Hubbell, Modern Philology 'The sweep of research on display in this book is breathtaking.' Alexander Dick, European Romantic Review '… there is much fascinating material in the book exploring the way Scott uses myth and legend as a way of expressing the “enjoyable magic” of the land.' Mandy Haggith, Green Letters: Studies in Ecocriticism '… an ambitious book, in dialogue throughout with recent work on nature and land ethics … [that] lays down an important challenge and an invitation to further studies.' Kathryn Sutherland, The Times Literary Supplement
