Publisher's Synopsis

'Weaving together science, history, antiquarianism and art, this stimulating collection of essays amply demonstrates Thomas Pennant's centrality to a broad range of British Enlightenment debates and discourses, especially those relating to Britain's so-called "Celtic Fringe". At the same time, it underscores the epistemological importance of travel and travel writing in the late eighteenth century.'
-Carl Thompson, Senior Lecturer in English, St Mary's University, UK
