Abstract
Review and discussion of Nigel Leask, Stepping Westward: Writing the Highland Tour c.1720-1830 (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2020), from Burt and Pennant to Dr Johnson, William and Dorothy Wordsworth, and John Keats, praising the book as timely, and suggesting that in discussing attitudes to the people of the Scottish Highlands it tells "a story of a deeply troubling kind."
