Why read it?
1 author picked The History of Edinburgh. by Hugo Arnot as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Published in 1779, this book shows far more about Enlightenment Edinburgh than it does Edinburgh history, and should be read for that reason. Full of myth, legend, bloody Scottish history, and contemporary events, it is written with the perspective of the historical enquiry of the Enlightenment as described by Broadie. Plus, it’s just fun to see how historic people saw and expressed themselves.
From Elizabeth's list on eighteenth-century Scotland.
