View show details

In which the preparations and expectations for our long-anticipated journey to the Hebrides are recounted with affectionate detail, introducing the singular character of Dr Samuel Johnson—his wit, learning, and somewhat brusque manners—alongside the good company and kind hospitality that awaited him in Scotland. We catch glimpses of his initial prejudices, lively discourse on topics from law to emigration, and the warm reception by friends and gentlemen of the north, setting the scene for a tour rich in observation and reflection.
