A pioneering study of 18th-century Scottish urbanism. The story of a profound transformation in the nature of the urban environment and urban society. It exxplores the development of Scots burghs, their changing material cultures, regulation and cultural life, and shows the true character of the Scottish urban experience in a period often identified with the intellectual flowering that later became identified as the Scottish Enlightenment. Pictorial cardwraps. B/w and a few colour illustrations. xx and 604 pages. ISBN: 9780748692576. Old barcode price to rear cover. Text block a little grubby. Else contents clean.
