Book description
Why read it?
1 author picked Music and Society in Lowland Scotland in the Eighteenth Century as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I’ll go ahead and admit that taking issue with David Johnson is one of my favorite pastimes. However, his work is the only work focused on eighteenth-century Scottish music, and as such is a major contribution. Johnson gives a very readable, very enjoyable (one needn’t know music…) overview of what was then known (1972) about Scottish musical culture. Arts and Enlightenment went hand in hand in Scotland, so read Broadie for the ideas and then Johnson for what these same philosophers were doing for entertainment.
From Elizabeth's list on The best books on eighteenth-century Scotland.
