A paragraph in current @Lit_Review by Sarah Watling on Rosemary Hill’s “Time’s Witness” which,in discussing Romanticism in history, touches on the mid 19th century invention of “clan tartans”, which I suspect many are unaware of.
George Mackay Brown's work 'not only captures the totality of Orcadian life but also draws from that life a humane vision of creaturely dwelling, of man’s symbiotic relationship with the land and its history'.
'Rather than concerning themselves with the machinations of great men', antiquaries 'sought to establish how people had lived, what they had worn, what stories they’d told and what games they’d played'.
