| العنوان الفرعي للكتاب | An Archaeology Of The Emergence Of Modern Life In The Southern Scottish Highlands |
| وصف الكتاب | My interest in the archaeology of the Scottish Highlands began long before I had any formal training in the subject. Growing up on the eastern fringes of the southern Highlands, close to Loch Lomond, it was not hard stumble across ruined buildings, old field boundaries, and other traces of everyday life in the past. This is especially true if you spend much time, as I have done, climbing the nearby mountains and walking and driving through the various glens that give access into the Highlands. At the time, I had no real understanding of these remains, simply accepting them as being built and old. After studying archaeology for a few years at the University of Glasgow, itself only a short commute from the area where I grew up, I became acutely aware that I still had no real understanding of these - miliar, yet enigmatic, buildings and fields. This and a growing interest in Scotland's historical archaeology drove me to take several courses on the subject of rural settlement studies. These courses allowed me to place what I now knew to be houses, barns, mills, shieling (transhumance) settlements, rig-and-furrow cultivation, and other related remains in history. Overwhelmingly, they seemed to date from the period of the last 300 years. I also began to understand how they all worked together as component parts of daily rural life in the past. |
| المراجعة التحريرية | From the reviews: "Dalglish has given us such a rich and nuanced study. Rural Society in the Age of Reason is a welcome addition to the growing number of works whose goal is to build a global and historical understanding of the modern world. As such, this book has something for archaeologists, cultural anthropologists, and historians alike." (Robert Paynter, Journal of Anthropological Research, 60: 2004) "This [is] the first British volume in the Contributions to Global Historical Archaeology. Overall this is an important and well argued study of changes well known and acknowledged at one level. Dalglish elegantly shows that much of interest and value can be discerned by examining the motivations and strategies of individuals, and that a society-wide or class-based reaction should not be assumed. This should encourage further regional studies to widen and deepen our understanding of the application of and reaction to Improvement not only in the Scottish Highlands but also elsewhere."
