ABSTRACT

For a long time, the history of Scottish Literature has been overshadowed by the concept of British literature, and thus Scottish literary heritage has been seen as regional characteristics. The Act of Union 1707 led to a growing concern for Scottish national identity. In The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides, the famous Scottish-born biographer James Boswell chose to take advantage of Scottish literary heritage as a point of penetration to express his own Scottish national identity with Scotland in literature and Scottish literature.

KEYWORDS
