Produktinformationen "Rambles Round Glasgow (annotated)"
This edition of the classic Rambles Round Glasgow features: a new introduction placing MacDonald in his context; extensive notes for the modern reader; an index. Let Hugh MacDonald's Rambles Round Glasgow transport you to mid-nineteenth century Glasgow - to a busy, grimy, burgeoning city, and to the towns and villages that would soon be swallowed up by its progress. From the "rural-looking village of Govan" in the south to the "spot called the 'Bear's Den'" in the north, MacDonald will take you through familiar Glasgow locations, and regale you with tales of their legends and history. Hugh MacDonald was a poet and journalist with a love of literature and nature, a big heart, and a twinkle of humour always in his eye. His charming travelogues are still a delight after more than a century and a half. This twenty-first century edition of Rambles Round Glasgow has a new introduction and notes for the modern reader. "Leaving the city by Anderston Walk, we make our way towards Partick. It is rather a difficult matter to leave the city in this direction, as she seems determined, in her westward progress, to keep pace with you. In our boyish days there was a 'world's end' somewhere about Finnieston, but where the pole may have shifted to now-a-days is beyond our ken."
