As much as I love his romantic take on the history I find this book to be a necessary antidote. It is a study of how one estate in Scotland survived the union of Scotland and England. Unfortunately, that survival was the downfall of the people Prebble writes about in "The Highland Clearances" and other works. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Dr Gaskell's pioneering study of social and economic change in a west Highland parish during the last century has come to be regarded as a classic of local history, a book which raises issues that are still of general and indeed of national importance. But Morvern Transformed is more than a study of history: it is (to quote Professor R. H. Campbell's new Introduction) 'a fascinating portrayal of a way of life which, only a century old, is already as different from the present as it was in its own day from the way of life another century before.'
